To all who celebrate, (and remembering my great grandmother) (taken from Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville)
Joyous Hanukkah!
by Eva Grant
At last! At last! Hanukkah is here!
The whole house is bursting with holiday cheer.
Pancakes are sizzling as hard as they can,
Browning delectably crisp in the pan.
The dreidels can scarcely wait to be spun;
Presents are hidden for Hanukkah fun;
And there, on the table, polished and bright,
The shining menorah gleams through the night,
Like the oil lamp in ancient history,
That burned on and on miraculously!
And each flaming candle proclaims the great story
Of the Maccabean heroes, their deeds and their glory.
