Embracing Cultural Traditions

The boys were learning about Hanukkah in kindergarten.  Before bed, James says, "Mom!  Mom, I don't want to eat potato pancakes for Hanukkah.  Can we have something else instead?  (pause) Oh, we don't celebrate Hanukkah!  But I want to spin a dreidel.  I hope it lands on the side where I get all the coins!"

Mattie was very enthusiastic about a song they heard in school called Spin the Dreidel:  "It's so good!  As soon as you hear it, you fall in love with it!"

Edited to add:  The song is Candlelight by the Maccabeats.
