With Love From
Mommie & Daddy
November 2004
Throughout Portland , children gazed out of their windows on the crisp winter day, watching the sun set. They anxiously awaited the disappearance of the last little bit of light, for that would mark he start of a very special holiday - - the eight-day festival of Hanukkah. Mary Kate Sussman was so excited. Kelsey, Anjie and Savannahwould be there to help light the menorah and open the Hanukkah gifts.
Since the guests had not arrived yet, Mary Kate practiced with the dreidel, a four-sided top used in a special Hanukkah game. Round and round the dreidel spun, each time landing with a different one of its Hebrew letters - - nun, gimel, hay and shin - - showing.
(…and there's much, much more!)
