A Song For Hanukkah Sing a song for Hanukkah. Dedicate our hope and faith tonight. Let the world see our menorah glow. It’s the Festival of Lights. Celebrate with family. Find the love within your heart and home. Blessings on this special Hanukkah. Wishing one and all, “Shalom.” Spin the dreidel and then see where it lands. Nes, gadol, haya, sham. Light a candle and then we’ll say a prayer. Illuminating night for eight days long. Learn about this joyous day, when we all regained the right to pray. Hear about the ancient stories, helping us to find our way. Celebrate with family. Find the love within your heart and home. Blessings on this special Hanukkah.

Mostly What I Wish For When I wish at Christmas, I wish for many things, like love and joy and kindness that Christmas seems to bring. But mostly what I wish for upon that Christmas star is peace for ev’ry one of us no matter who we are. When I wish at Christmas, I wish for lots of smiles. I wish for tender moments and hugs that last a while. But mostly what I wish for upon that Christmas star is peace for ev’ry one of us no matter who we are.
