First Night

Our holiday was musical (The food was yummy, too) Because our grandkids each received A shiny new kazoo. To add to the festivities, Another gift revealed Harmonicas, which both of them Did very proudly wield. With latkes, dreidels, presents and, Of course, the candles lit, Our Chanukah was lovely and My cookies were a hit. We won’t all be together for The candles left to light, But the glow will carry forward From the sweetness of last night.

Happy Chanukah, Ilene. Thank you for the lovely little peek into your celebration. I bet hearing the grands play their new instruments was a highlight for you ~ John
