It’s so interesting to learn about another winter holiday, Shab-e-Yalda. The tradition of passing around a beloved book of poetry, making a wish and then reading and talking about a poem is just brilliant. I’d love to think of a way to incorporate something similar into our Hanukkah celebration. Thanks so much for sharing, Pat. Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday!
Such a fun celebration - thanks for bringing it to our attention. Now I’m just sitting over here quietly thinking how to incorporate something similar…

That's why I love this holiday! It's a true window into this incredible culture. Iran is my most wished for place to travel and spend some time in.

Me too!
Thank you Pat for sharing the video and other details and links about Yalda. I really enjoy knowing about this happy tradition!
Isn't it great?!
It's refreshing to read about something other than Christmas in December! Thanks!
Makes the world a little more generous, doesn't it?
