About Hanukkah
Also known as "The Festival of Lights," Hanukkah is one of the major holidays in the Jewish faith. The winter holiday, which usually occurs around the same time as Christmas and Yule, commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple of Jerusalem during the 2nd Century, B.C.E. The miracle of the menorah, the 8-pronged candelabra that stands as one of the major symbols of Hanukkah, plays a big part in the holiday's story. Temple priests only had enough oil to keep the prayer candles lit for one night. Somehow, the oil stretched for 8 days, allowing the Temple to be fully re-dedicated.
Dressing up for Hanukkah
Get ready for "8 Crazy Nights" of Hanukkah fun! In the traditional blue-and-white colors of the holiday is a Blue Santa suit trimmed in white faux fur, showing that everyone's favorite jolly old elf truly has presents for everyone, regardless of their faith, so long as their hearts are in the right place!
Get festive with some fun Hanukkah-themed accessories, like a Dreidel handbag shaped like the Hanukkah spinning top toy played with by children. Or, bake some cookies wearing a blue Hanukkah apron. You can even get your pets into the spirit of things with the Shalom pet costume or Hanukkah star collar for dogs or cats!
