I believe yesterday evening was the beginning of this holiday; is it also called “The Festival of Lights?”  
My favorite classical music station announced it yesterday, and played some music dedicated to Hanukkah.

So, to everyone who celebrates it, have a wonderful holiday!  
And, anyone who would like to share anything about this holiday with those of us who are not Jewish, are welcome to do so here.

and didn’t find this before, and was surprised no one had done a Hanukkah thread. Thanks, **screech-owl**! I especially like **Green Bean** ’s Mennorah.

This song, Rysdad? [Holiday Lyrics: Dreidel](http://www.babycenter.com/general/9910.html?CP_bid=)

I have a little dreidel  
I made it out of clay  
And when it’s dry and ready  
Then dreidel I shall play
