First Night of Chanukah

Chanukah this year begins during Thanksgiving weekend. We actually advanced the celebration a little
to enjoy it before Miriam and Alice headed back to college.



Frying the latkes — that is, potato pancakes.
These are the traditional Chanukah food in our tradition.
There’s also a tradition of eating jelly donuts.

We ate the latkes with leftover duck from Thanksgiving.
We also drank wine, and filtered water.

    I have some friends who start their Chanukah with latkes. I love them, too. Really like what you did with your photos. I bet that's an app.

    I love latkes and haven't had them in years. Now if you offer me a plateful and a jelly donut too, I might be by your house. Smile. It would be a long long drive I think. I hope you have a great Hanukkah and week ahead. Hugs-Erika

    We just had latkes, well we call them different and I had no idea it was also your traditional food for the season.
    If there were Christmas Markets you could get them with all sorts of toppings, hmmmm.

    Last year at this time we had a couple staying with us and she is an Israeli. They celebrated Chanukah and she made latkes of course.
    I love what you've done with the first three photos. Must be a particular program on your phone. I like it.
    Sorry I'm late,
    Happy T-Day,
    Hugs,
    Lisca
