How To Find Hanukkah Gifts Cary NC

1. Timing. Do go to the trouble to find out just when Hanukkah is, and give your gift (or gifts) then. It does get old fast when Jewish holidays get lumped into Christian ones, Hanukkah in particular. According to the Hebrew calendar, Hanukkah begins on the 25th day of Kislev, but chances are that you don't have a Hebrew calendar. Most other calendars will at least make a note of the first day of most significant Jewish holidays.
   
   Keep in mind that Jewish holidays begin at sundown, so frequently the holiday actually begins the evening before the day that it is listed on the calendar. If you want to be certain, check out a site like Chabad, which lists the dates of upcoming Jewish holidays. By giving your gift at Hanukkah instead of Christmas, you will show your respect for your friend's traditions by honoring her holiday and not everyone else's.
   
   
2. Eight Days Long. Since Hanukkah is celebrated for eight consecutive days, you can choose to give eight separate small gifts if you so choose. If you prefer to give just one big gift, then you would want to give that either on the first or last day of Hanukkah. Don't be shy about asking your friend which she would prefer-learning more about your friend's traditions is a wonderful way to bond around the holidays.
