The story of a miracle—one day of lamp oil lasting for eight days—informs this festive Jewish holiday that occurs in December—this year December 25 to January 2. (For a full account of the holiday’s history, visit here.) A menorah is lit each evening, a candle added each night. But this Hanukkah homedecor will last you even longer than eight nights. (We light the center candle, called the shamash, and then use it to light the others.) In addition to lighting candles, people eat jelly donuts, potato latkes, and other treats that use large amounts of oil to prepare. Dreidels are spun and Hanukkah gelt (technically “money” but really just coin-shaped chocolates wrapped in gold-colored foil) is given out. Add to the festivities with these Hanukkah-themed objects!
