To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.
~Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
Our family is Jewish and we celebrate Chanukah. We say a prayer and light candles for eight nights to celebrate the miracle of the oil in the temple that should have lasted for one day but lasted for eight.
It's a beautiful holiday that we fill with family traditions; latkes (potato pancakes), jelly donuts, spinning dreidels and story telling about Chanukah's that have come and gone.
One of the miracles that we'll hopefully get to celebrate this year, will be, that our two year old son, does not get a hold of the menorah and burn our house down. =)
Whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year, I hope that it's filled with family, wonderful memories and no trips to the ER (see my Thanksgiving post below). =)
