Wish your wonderful grandchildren a Happy Hanukkah with a card featuring two adorable penguins wearing yarmulkes, scarfs, bows, and earmuffs sitting on a pretty frame trimmed in Star of Davids with dark blue, fancy text. Design by Laurie Schneider, elements by J Rett Graphics, Nini Scrap. Hanukkah is Hebrew for “to dedicate.” It can be spelled many ways including Chanukah or Chanukkah. Some people call it the Festival of Lights or Festival of Dedication. Gift giving wasn’t originally part of the holiday, but children were given gelt (chocolate coins) money as incentive for studying the Torah. Gifts were added because the holiday is close to Christmas.
