On Hanukkah

When Father brings out the menorahs from a box in the closet, a young girl knows it is time for Hanukkah, the eight-day Festival of Lights. Time for the whole family to get together to play dreidels and sing and dance. Time to remember the story of Judah Maccabee. Time to eat potato latkes. And of course, time for presents. But most of all, it is time to light the menorahs and remember the miracle of Hanukkah.
