Watch this video to be apprised to the paganism and some surprising traditions of men in the Christmas holiday:
I hate to do it to you if this information is new for you, but I do it out of love, just as someone dear to me showed me.  When I came to the truth of these holidays, my world fell apart, as this was the ONLY way I knew how to worship the Father and His Son.  But with trust in my Savior and a passionate desire to walk in the Truth, I made the transition to the Feasts of YHVH and boy has there been an incredible outpouring of blessing!  The Feasts of YHVH (Passover through Sukkot) actually testify to the Messiah (Yeshua) much in every way.  The transition can be brutal, like yanking off a band aid.  The first year of my switch of holidays to holy days was kind of dry and boring at first.  (Like trying on a new pair of shoes.  They are so adorable, but I do NOT enjoy breaking them in!)  All those "fun" traditions I was leaving behind!  But I trusted the Father and His Son to lead me into all truth, and now I would NEVER trade the Feasts for anything.  The Holy Days are SUCH a blast.  Seriously.  No really.  So give it a shot, and don't be discouraged if it takes a little while to personalize the feast days for you and your family.  Check out suggestions on this site if you want.  Hopefully I'll get to post soon some more of our new traditions our family has incorporated to help!

My Top Hanukkah Gifts for 2011 from Etsy.com

12/5/2011

I am not big into making Hanukkah a shameless attempt to compete with another winter holiday I shall not name, but instead I do like to provide a few meaningful gifts to help the kids celebrate.  My idea is more to make memories than ruin that with materialism.  With that being said, I did stumble across this website that is right up my alley: etsy.com.  If you would like to purchase any of these items, by all means I will provide the links.  But I will be using it as a jumping off point for getting my own creative juices flowing.  Whichever you decide, enjoy the online window shopping!  Here goes:

Picture
This is a Hanukkah magnet kit with orange glass magnets so that you can add a flame for each night of Hanukkah.  It also has a little background card and wooden dreidel.  What a cute gift to get someone in the mood this feast!  (Can fit in your purse too.)

It's going for $9.50 per kit.

Find them here: Hanukkah Magnet Kit

Picture
What are these you ask?  Well, dreidels of course!  But not bouncing or melodious or light up dreidels, but caricature dreidels personalized for your family!  This was my favorite item I found anywhere.  You can personalize the dreidel with up to 8 caricatures of your family members.  Now that's just precious.

Check them out here: Caricature Dreidels

Picture
And the perfect boys to men gift!  Tie t-shirts.  I thought these were adorable and great for pictures!

Order them thru this link: Tie Tshirts

They are listed as a 4 piece set, but you can click on the seller's other listings and find monogrammed shirts, onesies, etc.

Here was a different Hanukkah doll for the holidays.  Last year I bought the mini Rebecca Rubin doll and her Hanukkah book (from American Girl) for my daughter last year.  We really enjoyed having Rebecca come to celebrate the festivities with us!  Could you imagine this new little doll joining the party?  So darling, in my humble opinion.

Visit her listing at: Handmade Hanukkah Rag Doll

Here's a stylish card for all us mitzvah-licious ladies!  I thought it was chic!

This card is selling for $5 per card.

And my menorah choice for 2011!  These individual "candles" are actually made from recycled wool sweaters with felt flames that button on.  Definitely one that even the kids can enjoy!

These are one-of-a-kind sets, so the seller is asking $60 per menorah.

Have a baby girl nearby that needs a little flair this Hanukkah?  There are several listing for other ages for Hanukkah tutus, but this personalized baby tutu was my favorite!

Here ya go...dreidel crayons!  They remind me of cards I bought for the kids a few years ago where they colored their own card.

The set of 8 crayons is selling for $5.49.

Here they are: Dreidel Crayons

These Hanukkah hair accessories were glitzy, but understated.  They were my favorites.
