>>77928471As a kid raised with Christmas, dreidels seemed fucking awesome. Hanukkah in general did.
Chocolate coins, gambling, potatoe pancake things, fire, and a story of an ancient war.
The actual community traditions of going to the temple and shit seemed dull, but doing religious stuff as a community always sucked to me. Keep it to the family and close friends, not co-workers and neighbors. I had more fun cleaning Civil War graves on Memorial day as a kid than awkward Christmas parties.
