We celebrate Hanukkah and it comes with strong traditions.  First, we light the menorah and say the prayers that go along with this holiday.  Every year, we first engage in a continuing reminder about which direction to light the candles.

We follow the lighting of the candles by a particular song and dance.  I have been singing this song and dancing in this same circle since I can remember. I learned the tradition from my parents and it has certainly been passed on.

Whether my children are home with us and we sing and dance together, or we lean in to some virtual togetherness to perform the annual ritual, we always perform the ritual.

I am a fan of tradition.  Do you have any traditions around the holidays?
