Celebrating Hanukkah is our family tradition. Hanukkah 2022 is celebrated since Sunday, 18th of December through Monday, December 26. What is Hanukkah and why is it celebrated? It’s a Jewish holiday that commemorates rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem back in the second century B.C. There the Jew started the revolt against their Greek oppressors and defeated the enemy despite being outnumbered. The other name of Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights. It is celebrated in accordance with lunar cycle, so every year the date is flexible.

The main tradition of this holiday is lighting candles. Each day of the celebration one candle is lit on menorah, a special candelabra with place for eight candles, until it is fully lit on the final day of celebration. Every traditional celebration includes festive food associated with this particular holiday. And as most people, we get some holiday treats to commemorate the event. According to tradition, Hanukkah is celebrated with latkes, fried potato pancakes, or any fried food. They also have sufganiyot, little donuts, and poppy seed cookies.

As most busy women I have no time to cook special Hanukkah treats, so I order them instead. The best Hanukkah treats I have ever had can be purchased at Hickory Farms. This time I ordered Happy Hanukkah Gift Box and here is my honest opinion about it.

Checking out at hickotyfarms.com.

First, some words about ordering Hickory Farms Happy Hanukkah Gift Box. Its regular price is $29.99, but it was on sale and available for just $24.99, which was good. The store also ran a promotion and offered Hickory Farms free standard shipping through December 12/20. That seemed to be a great deal. I tried to save even more and decided to use Hickory Farms Coupon to get 15% off my purchase. Unfortunately, the store didn’t accept this coupon and didn’t grant an extra discount for my order. Probably the reason is that Happy Hanukkah Gift Box was already at the reduced price and the company offered free shipping on top of that. In fact, Hickory Farms rarely offers free shipping, so I still was glad that I scored such a great deal. So, just be aware that sometimes the company doesn’t allow to combine the promotions it offers.

Playing dreidel is a popular Hanukkah tradition. Each dreidel comes with four Hebrew letters which mean “A great miracle occurred here”. The rules of the game are simple. Each player spins the dreidel once and watches the side it lands. Depending on the symbol which is up the player either gets or gives away treats in a pot. You just need to know the meaning of the symbols to understand whether you take it all, take half of it, getnothing or give away.
