presence...

a different kind of present presents are wonderful, but to give the gift of presence is more important than anything. as you light the candles and sing songs with friends and family- as you compete in dreidel competitions and eat latkes together - remember that being present with your loved ones is the best gift you can give them. put down your cell phone and pay attention to what’s happening around you. most importantly give your friend a hug and let them know that you are there for them- always.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

lots and lots of love.

happy hanukkah!
