Chanukah, Again

Lights shining in 
  the night celebrate 
the re - birth 
of 
the 
spirit 
   Lights open the door
to the heart's deepest wishes 
Only celebrated by 
    a very small percentage 
of the world 
But it continues to bring glory 
   to those who let it into their hearts

this is very nice. I saw on Sharks the a few weeks ago, a Jewish guy had made a doll that had something to do with a holiday like this one for the jewish kids to have their own kind of santa!! (the doll was a rabbi who told stories)
