Getting ready for Chanukah
How cute is this set? That’ll be our first night’s gift. I think I’d eventually like to get the Shabbat and Passover sets, too.
Noah is getting harder to buy for nowadays. His interests are more specific and expensive. Since we celebrate both holidays and then his birthday is just about a month after Christmas, it’s an awful lot of challenging shopping to do. And then, too, the grandparents want advice on what to get him.
Some people have asked if we’re going to celebrate Kwanzaa now and I said that we have enough December holidays for the time being. Besides, Kwanzaa means nothing to Madison’s birth family so it’s not like we’re stinting on her heritage. If either of the kids decide they’d like to try on celebrating it, we’ll revisit it then but for now, we’ll stick to the two we already have.
Looking at Noah, I tried to guess his age 5/6? I thought a neat Chanukah gifts would be tools (real ones) with a tool box. Then extended family could add to it. We did this with my son at 5, and he loves it. Screwdriver, tapemeasure, little hammer and nails- real piece of wood to hammer in. Just a thought.
We have the Rosh Hashana set and Jonas LOVES it. He is still playing with it.
