Standard-issue Hanukkah wishes from our family β€” same warmth, same hopes, same gratitude for getting to do this again.

Wishing you a Hanukkah by the book β€” every page exactly as written, every blessing exactly as remembered.

May this be the kind of Hanukkah you don't need to photograph because you already know exactly how it felt.

Chag sameach β€” may your festival be predictable in the best ways and surprising only in the small, sweet ones.

Wishing you a Hanukkah of routine joy β€” the candles, the songs, the smell of oil, the satisfied silences between blessings.

May your menorah be lit, your dreidel be spun, your sufganiyot be eaten in quantities you'd rather not disclose.
