Yes - a special confluence of the moons, i.e. holidays. My wife grew up Jewish & I was a 'previous' Catholic, so a mixed religious marriage - we wanted our son to have some religious exposure, so years ago (and still active members), we joined a liberal Unitarian Fellowship in our town - has work out for us.

We do light a Menorah over the 8 days of the Jewish holiday (wife has a nice collection) - below a couple of pics of our fully lit menorah from a recent year & her small collection - hope some enjoy the images. Dave :)

Very nice collection of Menorahs Dave, I especially like the one in the first photo. For those who do not understand what the Hanukkah Holiday is... it's also known as the "Festival of Lights". For those who are interested, you can read up on it here.

Hi Chscag - thanks for your comment; that is the Menorah we use every year for the holiday - it is gold/silver plated and the top parts are screw on, so cleaning is easy, i.e. just put them in boiling water - a little silver polish brings all back to life. AND, not expensive for those who may want to join in the celebration (CHECK HERE) - Dave :)

Hi RavingMac - that turkey brings back a lot of memories - can taste it now! :)

Wife & I are alone this year, so lighting the second candle on our menorah - she's roasting a pheasant (like the one below) which we have often on holidays - tastes like turkey and perfect size for two!

Of course, we will also share a bottle of the bubbly! :Cool:
