It's Christmas. We're celebrating Jesus' birth.. and at the same time, we're celebrating the sixth day of Hanukkah, beginning in just a few hours at sundown. After an hour of opening Christmas gifts, we still get to relax and look at the Hanukkah candles and open one more present.
Tonight's candle represents "creation". How appropriate. God created the world in six days... and we are on day six of Hanukkah. Okay, I'm overdoing the significance. You can make the rest of the tie-ins yourself.
"Oh Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Thy name in all the earth,
who hast displayed Thy splendor above the heavens!
When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers,
the moon and the stars which
Thou hast ordained."
Psalm 8
