Thanks for sharing the video! I love Peter, Paul and Mary and I love this song. Oh I love their Lemon Tree the best!

Guess what, I've been playing this video from just now and it's the 8th time now. I've a vague memory of Chanukah as it's Festival of Lights and is an eight-day Jewish event. So I got to make it to 8th!

Sorry, I don't know much about the history of Chanukah but I'll google it later.

Happy Chanukah, Caren, Lenny, Cody and Dakota!!!

Priscilla you are welcome! Thank YOU!! Ohhhh myyyyy Lenny absolutely ADORES Peter, Paul & Mary (I do too but he was born during that era...I am a "little" younger! lol) One of my favorites is "Puff The Magic Dragon"...I just love that song!
Yes Chanukah is "The Festival Of Lights" and a celebration of how a very, very tiny bit of oil lasted for 8 days (a miracle) when it should have barely lasted at all (that is a HUGELY abbreviated definition of the holiday lol!)
I am sooo happy you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for your Chanukah wishes! xoxo

Happy Chanukah! I haven't seen any packages around the house, so I don't think Mom got me anything. :( But I did get a new cat tree last month so maybe that was my present, just early. MOL

Ok tell me about this cat tree...I am trying to find a reasonably priced one for Cody but they are all soooo expensive!!! Yep if you got a new one I bet that was your present and a fine present it is!!!!

Caren, you made my morning, my afternoon, my evening, the rest of the week and the month too. LOVED that picture.

@Diane, Happy Chanukah to you both!!! Yeah we did ours too....isn't it just a shame how darned fast the candles burn out?

Caren Gittleman said...

Cat-in-Sydney said...

Cody & Dakota,
HAPPY CHANUKAH!!!! Hey...don't trip the Menorah, OK? Lighted candles = fire. Aunty Caren, best wishes for the holy day. MMMWWAAHHHH!!!! purrr...meow!

Caren Gittleman said...

@Cat-in-Sydney thank you!!!! Nope, no worries about tripping the Menorah. Mom put it on the kitchen table in an aluminum pan and she stood by it the entire time....(pretending she is a Fire Chief or something lol).....my brother and I didn't care cause she gave us food to distract us. Actually my brother isn't allowed in the kitchen anyway...just me....I was busy getting kibble out of my treat ball :)
My Mom recycled the ball from the cupboard and tried to pass it off as a new Chanukah toy...geeze......well...she DID get me at least 3 new toys a week or so ago....she said she is still gonna get me something else....we will see...Love, Cody
