Soon, billions of people around the world will celebrate Hanukkah.  We thought we'd be different and celebrate a little early.  Here is a detailed account of what happened. 

There are certain traditions that a group must perform during a prefestival of lights.

The first major step is to tell people to come over. 

Then you cook.  A lot of food.

Prefestival menu:

    - Salad

    - Brisket

    - Danyael's Famous Meatballs

    - Rice

    - Hanukkah Gelt

    - Marshmellows

    - Tsufganiot (Jelly donuts)

    - Jellybeans

Then you need entertainment.

It is an absolute must to have plenty of dreidels.  Where it is not required, its always a good idea to have Simon available.  Even if its the most complex version of Simon ever made (They even have a mode where you can go backwards). 

If you're really ambitious, you can arrange a Dance Dance Revolution tournie.  We did but flash photography was not permitted.  Sorry.

Finally, everyone is required to take a picture with the blow-up dreidel. 

A Good Time Was Had By All
