Wish them rededication β€” Hanukkah's real translation β€” to whatever they've been postponing.

Say: 'Light a candle for me tonight; I'll be thinking of your family.'

For coworkers, plain warmth beats grand phrasing: 'Happy Hanukkah β€” enjoy every night.'

Try 'Festival of Lights blessings to you and yours' β€” formal enough for a card, warm enough to mean it.

'May your shamash light many others' β€” that's a wish worth borrowing.

When you don't know what to say, ask them what their favorite night is. Then listen.
