i always like it when hannukah does not correspond with x-mas, so it does not get completely overshadowed by that other holiday. then again, alot of secular jews might not give a thought to hannukah if not for the fact that it falls so close to x-mas.
being a closet pyromaniac i really love lighting the menorah. i love the look of the fire and watching the candles burn. for shabbos i always use the olive oil menorah, but somehow the olive oil menorah doesn't have as much sparkle to me. i know that there is a bigger mitzvah to use the olive oil, but it doesn't seem more mehudar to me.
lately the sufganiot have gained popularity, but i was never a fan of jelly donuts. weiss's bakery has caramel filled ones which are good, but i would rather have a greasy latke any day over whatever filled donut that is on the hannukah market.
whatever you light or eat, have a very happy hannukah!

When I had my own apartment I would have candles replacing electric lights pretty often. They’re more fun, and a lot more soothing after a busy day.

Im taking that as an isnult. ;)
mike-
not trying to diss you, its just that i really do not prefer jelly donuts. i did like your donut review on your blog even though i probably wont have any jelly donuts.
I don't like candles, oil burns brighter.
