    Ideas for Celebrating a Christ-Centered Hanukkah (Feast of Dedication/Festival of Lights)

      If you are wondering why a Christian might celebrate Hanukkah, I’m working on a post that answers that very question.  Also, can I humbly suggest you might read my two other posts about Hanukkah? In them I go into more detail about Hanukkah and the deep, wonderful meaning behind this beautiful celebration: Embracing a Christ-centered Hanukkah Reflections from Hanukkah I also highly recommend A Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays by Robin Sampson.    Below are some fun and meaningful Ideas for Celebrating a Christ-Centered Hanukkah:   Celebrate by lighting the Menorah and reading God’s Word together as a family every night of Hanukkah-    We light a candle…

    Reflections from a Christ-Centered Hanukkah

     It has been oddly mild for late December and I can’t help but be glad for the not-so-wintery weather.  Last year we were in the midst of the biggest ice storm to hit Southern Ontario in years.  This year we’ve been playing with hens in the grassy backyard!  So much was different this year (not just the weather!).   Our home, our hearts, our new found celebration of Hanukkah – very new and very special.  I had to share from my heart… Our embracing Hanukkah this year  came after much prayer, reflection, and yes, good old fashioned research.  Last year, the day after Christmas, our hearts were incredibly burdened.  My…

This year, we are embracing Hanukkah for the first time.  Our Menorah shines pretty earth tones on antiqued brass – and beeswax candles all in a row.  And there is something breath-taking about the very Menorah God commanded in the Old Testament shining in the darkness of an old country kitchen. This year has been a whirlwind of awakenings and blessings and the…
