In most parts of the western world, the majority of festive decor, music and marketed traditions in December tend to be tailored to those who celebrate Christmas. The web is a buzz with all sorts of fun Christmas tree decor, and DIY festive fun, so I wanted to mix it up. The gallery shows a few modern spins on the Hanukkah menorah for our Jewish friends.
Five reinterpretations of the traditional 8-candle display can be seen in the gallery. My favourite is the colored glass menorah in the first image by fisforfrank. The next five are from Artlook, Canaan and Artful Home. The remaining alternative menorahs are by independent designs with stores on Etsy.
