Happy Holidays!


.
Tis the season for lots of celebration the world over. Right now, was Day 1 for the celebration of Hanukkah. Its the holiday in which we light a menora, or candelabria; one for each of the eight days. By the eighth day, all the candles are lit.

Foods associated with this holiday -cause there's always a matching food to go with the holiday- is anything with oil- to represent light. We usually eat latkes, a potato pancake type food with a side helping of applesauce or sour cream. Also doughnuts and in Israel 'sufgania' a type of doughnut without the hole.
