Once upon a time, there was a family of ornaments who lived together on a Christmas tree. Each year, they would gather to celebrate the holidays and share in the merriment. But one year, the menorah ornament suggested they start a new tradition and celebrate Hanukkah too. The other ornaments were hesitant, but the menorah convinced them by saying, "It's time for a resolution, let's include all generations and their traditions!" So, they got to work making a kinara and a shamash to join their celebration. The tree was filled with twinkling lights and joyful sounds, as the ornaments sang and danced to celebrate both holidays. And from that day on, the tree was known for being the most inclusive and festive place in the land!

Reflections

1. Why did the menorah ornament want to start a new tradition?
2. How did the other ornaments feel about celebrating Hanukkah?
3. What did the ornaments make to celebrate both holidays?
4. How did the tree change after the ornaments started celebrating Hanukkah?
