happy chanuka!
ReplyDeleteI lit mine for the last time this year few minutes ago. I am looking forward to a peaceful 2015.
ReplyDeleteMy grandchildren loved it all - the candles, the food and the music. Here is hoping for a peaceful 2015!
ReplyDeletePretty pictures, Dina. I hope you enjoyed your Chanuka!
ReplyDeleteI suppose it is not proper to wish a Jew merry Christmas :-) , but I can at least thank you for wishing me one!
ReplyDeleteHappy Chanuka, Dina, and all the best to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteHappy last night of chanuka!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes!
Wil
Happy Hanukkah, Dina!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image, Dina.
ReplyDeletePeace.
Quite a peaceful image, Dina.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Hanukkah, Dina :)
ReplyDeleteChag Samaech Dina. I lit my menorah that I bought in Israel (just one night though and all eight candles plus the shamas at once). I know, shame on me.
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile.... thinking of my shopping in Israel. I came home with a candleholder with space for 9 candles, not 7 as I asked for.
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty with the colourful candles:)
Greetings from the cold north.... snow here in Norway.
