• People at the party: “Wow, look at you. You’re so ugly!”
• Me: “Aww, thanks! That’s so sweet of you!”

Hanukkah (Christmas too… but we’re Jewish, so let’s stick with Hanukkah shall we?) is one of the few occasions where calling someone ugly might be the biggest compliment in the world… IF they’re wearing an ugly Hanukkah sweater (don’t start calling random people ‘ugly’, unless you want to get punched in the face).

But you have to earn your “compliments”, especially nowadays – where everyone is trying hard to out-wit each other with the funniest, most awkward Hanukkah sweaters they can pull off (seriously, it’s like an “ugly pageant“ out there).

Luckily, you’ve landed in the right place… because I’m about to show you how to WIN the “ugly pageant” with the ugliest (and funniest) Hanukkah sweaters ever created!

“You know, you don’t need to wait for a special occasion just to get me flowers”.

I remember saying that to my ex-boyfriend one time; he gave me a death stare in response (that’s not why we broke up though 🙂 ).

Well, guess what? There is a special occasion around the corner. It’s called Hanukkah! So no excuses this time!

Don’t worry, you don’t have to physically drive to the flower shop and pick up some random flowers you know nothing about. Instead, I’m going to show you what flowers are best for Hanukkah. And guess what? It’ll arrive right at your doorstep (there goes another excuse)!

Sound good?

Great! I knew you’d come around!

• Gentlemen – get ready to pick up some nice Hanukkah flowers for the people you love!
• Ladies – make sure your spouse or boyfriend reads this…

Let’s begin 🙂

Every time the topic of Hanukkah decorations comes up, I always start with the same advice: “Start with the table setting, then move on to the rest.”

Why? Because Hanukkah is all about getting together family and friends around the dinner table. And if your table setting doesn’t have a warm and homey vibe to it on a cold winter day – then what the heck are we even doing here?

And guess what? The tablecloth is literally what everything else rests on, so we might as well start there, right?

In this guide, I hand-picked my favorite Hanukkah tablecloths and table runners that’ll bring some of that Hanukkah spirit to your dinner table. And guess what? Once Hanukkah is over, you can continue using these table linens all throughout the year. Because why hell not, right? 🙂

Look outside… What do you see?

Christmas trees, shiny lights, reindeers flying over your head…

Say what you will about Santa – he sure knows how to throw a party.

Let’s be honest: as pretty as a Menorah may be (and there are quite a few gorgeous Menorahs out there), it doesn’t stand a chance against Santa and his army of elves.

It’s no wonder Jewish kids (heck, even adults) feel like “second best” on Hanukkah. Can you blame them? While everyone is out there celebrating Christmas under the Christmas Tree, opening presents, having a jolly good time – Jewish kids have to settle for the “crumbles”.

Question is: what can we Jews do to make Hanukkah at least as appealing (or dare I say, even more appealing)?

I’ve got two words for you: Hanukkah decorations.

Not just any decorations… I’m talking unique Hanukkah supplies and centerpieces; the kind that make kids (and adults) jump out of bed in the morning!

That’s why for this year’s festival of lights (2024), I decided to create a MONSTER guide (it took me almost a week to create it, btw) to help Jewish families decorate their home for Hanukkah and turn their house into one gigantic Hanukkah treat! 

Mark my word – by the end of this guide, you’ll have enough Hanukkah decoration ideas to last you for a lifetime. 

OK, enough babbling, let’s get this party rolling!
