Double Menorahs

Happy Last Evening of Chanuka!!!!



One of my regular menorahs in front of my electric menorah in the window. Those are paper Chanuka napkins at the base to collect any drips--we could talk about another base collecting drips, but we'll keep this entry nonpolitical.

Tradition doesn't specify a rainbow or putting the candles in rainbow order, but why wouldn't you if you could, I ask ya? Pink, red, orange, yellow, white shamash (Go Akkhad!), spring green, dark green, light blue, blue candles--would only be better if I had purple or lavender candles to add in--and no, I'm not a bit OCD. You don't get a full menorah until day 8--hooray for Day 8!!! And you don't have to stop lighting the menorah until you're good and ready. I've really enjoyed the lights this year.

Moo and Tuxie are very unadventurous cats, which means I don't have to worry about them knocking over the regular menorah. First of all, they have to notice it. It doesn't impress them any. Not much does. Right now they are beside me--the menorah is in the window in front of us. Moo is snoring loudly, and Tuxie is drooling on his tail. Sleep specialists. They are the best there is at what they do.

Beautiful menorah(s)!!

I hate to say it, but I'm so grateful that my cats are no longer at that MUST PLAY WITH EVERYTHING THAT MOVES stage. I know that means they're older and creakier, which makes me sad, but omg, the young kitty stage, especially with Helo, when he used to play with cords all the time, so glad that's over! ;D

Your guys liked to play together during the middle of the night, so that's totally understandable. These guys never went through that stage--their time as strays was all the excitement they wanted for the rest of their lives. Milli was the same. Saki was always playful and curious, but not in a making trouble way, but my first kitty Stormie was a jumper and climber and used to climb me when she wanted attention. She was a loving handful.

Great rainbow candles on the menorahs! “Roy G. Biv” was the mnemonic I learned in Girl Scouts about the order of colors, and it’s really stuck with me a long time. (Red, orange, yellow, etc., ya know.)

Tuxie drooling while Moo snores is a great mental pic, too!

Thank you! (-: Yup, I sort of remember that too.
