When You're Single, no Kids, on Hanukkah

When you're single, no kids, lighting the Hanukkah menorah at home alone can be a
bummer, especially if you hoped that by this holiday season, things would be
different.
This year, add a new tradition when you light your Hanukkah
candles. With each candle, on each night of Hanukkah, think of a family
member and/or friend whom you are grateful to have in your life. Then,
as you light "their" candle, pray for a little miracle to light up his
or her life. By the eighth night of Hanukkah, that will be 35 people
you're grateful to have in your life and it won't be hard to believe
your own miracles are on their way to you - especially since you saved
your very own miracle prayer for last.
Happy Hanukkah to you and all those you love.
