The Spinning Dreidel

Hanukkah is a time for presents, potatoes and dreidels, Everyone has fun, even babies in cradles, They can watch the dreidel spin, and spin and spin, until they view stars in everything, Little presents make days and nights happier, with potato latkes adorning the tables, The chidren spin the dreidels while participating in all their activities getting a rouse out of all their relatives, The dreidel spins from the past, the future and the present, creating a joyous environment, and a glimpse into the future, Watching themselves spinning, and spinning the dreidel until they are very mature.

Really like the way you described children seeing their futures as they play with the dreidel, Margaret. Great metaphor. Thanks for telling us about the Hanukkah traditions! Love, Carolyn
