FIRST DAY of HANUKKAH and........etc.

December 21,2008-SUNDAY- its DOUGHNUTS FESTIVAL yesterday morning when I went to the city,everywhere you can see a lot of doughnuts or SUFGANIYOT on display.First day of candle lighting of Hanukkah and every body was buying doughnuts,colored candles,potatoes,flour cake,etc.It is just desame as Christmas rush shopping in the market place,in supermarkets,bakeries and other stores for gifts.

But in the afternoon all radio and tv stations broadcast was terrible.Again rockets flying from GAZA to nearby towns of ISRAEL borders.Its different moods of celebrating Hanukkah in that place. Its should be children's affair and the most happiest moment during this celebrations but it ruined by this rockets.

Evening news time...politicians are all in their own ways of campaign as they started to go around in preparations to national elections this coming February 2009.A lot of different stories in every aspiring candidates in different locations they've choose.

I went back to work at past six o'clock in the evening.My employer was not home.They were in the hall celebrating the first candle light and watched games of children's from age 12 years and below.They did a lot of fun games that my employer enjoyed watching it.Like doughnuts eating contest,lighting candles passes to next child ,blowing balloons to let the candle lights off, etc.It is nice to see children's that they all wanted to be contestants of every games.

IT'S A "DO NOT EAT" FESTIVAL FOR THOSE WHO WAS DIAGNOSE WITH DIABETES AND TO ALL WHO ARE ON THEIR DIET LIFE.SUFGANIYOT means FATS AND CALORIES for them that they need to avoid or it is prohibited to them.
