Lousy Hanukkah Gifts

Hanukkah: literally “The Festival of Eight Sub Par Gifts” in English. It’s the thought that counts, right? Sure, why not? Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa and Happy Holidays from Better Than The Machine! Ho ho ho! Festively directed and edited by Ballard C. Boyd – www.ballardcboyd.com Special thanks to Cindy Reiman!

Do you celebrate Hanukkah?

Wrapping gifts and Christmas trees
December’s holiday spirit’s here.
Candy, cookies, a Christmas goose
And lot’s of Christmas cheer.

But others see a different scene
Of candles lit on differing days
A beautiful miracle described
Different celebration, different ways.

And others worship
With a prayer and fast.
As they remember
Sacrifices of the past.

Streams of green and red
Decorate the shopping mall.
But Christians and others know
God truly loves us all.

{Whatever you celebrate, and however you celebrate it–enjoy your holidays. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa or however you observe this winter holiday, have a good one and many more. Be safe, and encourage someone today.)
