Tonight at sundown is the first night of Hanukkah. On Sunday I had the honor and the privilege of attending a Hanukkah party with my friend and her family. What fun we had in Newport Beach as the family all came together. Not only did I feel very loved and welcomed, but it is so fun to see how other families celebrate. I am looking forward to lighting my menorah tonight!
No matter what you celebrate or how you celebrate or who you celebrate with feel the feelings and enjoy each moment!
