Just what I was looking for....
I teach a cultural studies class in English in a senior high school in the north of Sweden. I asked my students why you should say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" and I am sad to say that no one knew. Now however, after having found your excellent website they all know.

Chanukah: Lighting my mind and my soul
What a happy, memorable and full of feelings these Chanukah's days and night are for those many of us who are seeing, keeping and saving these days and these lights as a salvation beam and lighthouse shining in our times of despair and thus, making us to be full of Hope, Light and Love.
In the middle of all or any turmoil and surrounded by ignorant people and forces (which I don't hate) these Chanukah Lights are something really wonderful. How I hope and long to have just a Chanukah in the old dear Land of Israel, in eternal Yerushalayim!
Let's pray and ask G-dfor our salvation and for Hope and Peace for Israel and in the land where it dwells!
With my best Shalom!
