Title: Merry Christmas!
Post by: Orchid on December 18, 2014, 04:27:14 AM
I would like to show you how private houses are decorated in my town for Christmas.
Sometimes, it's a pleasure just drive around the town at night and see all these lights.
I hope you will enjoy it. Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas, Orchid!  Thanks for sharing your photos!  I always enjoyed driving around town with my family and looking at all the decorations.  Some people really go all out!  :chuckle:

My family as well, but i feel festive whenever there is an occasion to celebrate goodness and love for others  ;)

Oh, btw, our Menorah/ candelabra is an antique one, from where my mom is, but in the spirit of the forum, i suggest this one (mind you, Vodka is kosher  ;D )

 Chag Sameach!/ Happy Holiday!

Well, this is unique Hanukia (Menorah is of 7 stems. Hanukia is of 9). Never seen one made of vodka (or any bottle).

Chag Sameach!

Chanukah Sameach    :)

To be precise it's Khanike lomp  ;D

As much as i adore Jim Morrison, i wouldn't light this one at my home... but still, gotta love it!  ;D

Oh, and just in case it's complicated to explain the miracle of oil, rededication of the Holy Temple and the  Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire ...

Well, my old Nokia battery didn't need miracle to last 8 days, though you can't use this "miracle" without shorten its length.

Though the cell phone does not resemble the miracle of Hanuka. The (olive) oil can miracle has a rather deep meaning.

Sorry, my Hebrenglish fails me, i don't understand what you mean. My intent was to share here some info of the Holiday we celebrate, in an easy way and i believe it's not you, who is in need of  any explaining or whatsoever  :)

Ooops, I thought you meant to the (pop) songs as a source of explanation. I said I like the John Lennon's song and the second band (regardless of the content).   

The explanation however is what the meaning and ideas behind the events: the triumph of spirit over power.

Here's an advert we have now in the UK, it's for Sainsbury's Supermarket, and celebrates the football match that took place Christmas 1914 on the Western Front between German Troops and British ones.

The result is not known, but the German's probably won on penalties as per bloody usual........

Gosh, for a moment I thought they celebrate "Yom ha Ahava" (The Day of Love). Now we should decide what role each side plays (which is the Greeks, which is the Maccabees).

You are sooo setting me in festive mood with this pictures!

I am in a "festive mood" too. I have just passed the last final exam!!!
In seven classes (5 classes and two labs) I have A. Unbelievable! It was so difficult!
I am a little lost. What people usually do with the freedom?

Congratulations!! :BEER:  :thumbsup:
I'm done with my exams as well.  I still have 8 more months of welding classes left before I am done.

Congrats!  :BEER:

I'd go out and have a nice freedom steak, drink some freedom beer, maybe watch a freedom movie while enjoying freedom ice cream, take a freedom bath shower, and follow that with some freedom sleep.  ;D

What's all this freedom stuff ? ???

Ehem, Sharon, dear, Orchid dedicated this thread to me, when you'll have a thread dedicated to you, only then you are allowed to make specific wishes!  :knit:
