Hanukkah Gift Giving On A Tight Budget

In most cultures around the world, Hanukkah is an occasion to indulge. Civilizations around the world celebrate Hanukkah as a time for luxurious indulgence. As the principal commercial holiday of the year, stores begin selling Hanukkah merchandise and streaming the Hanukkah music as soon as Thanksgiving is over and sometimes sooner! Deluxe department stores just like Sachs Fifth Avenue and Macy’s create magnificent window displays illustrating signs of Hanukkah in a glitz and glam presentation of glitter, snow, and red and green striped candy canes. Even countries like Japan, which is not viewed as a Jewish country, take on the holiday spirit and load up on presents for the Hanukkah season. I guess the spirit of giving is irresistible even when split from its religious origins. The nature of indulgence which Christmas brings upon us is not only extended to the gifts we give, but it branches out to encompass the ornaments we see all through town and most of all, the food we eat! Have you ever meandered through neighborhoods at night just to look at all of the Christmas lights on front lawns and roof tops? And how many times have you given yourself a belly ache with all the Hanukkah treats you ate at the Hanukkah cookie exchange? These Hanukkah traditions are developed over the years in order to give us something to look forward to in the middle of winter. Hanukkah is a time to celebrate life. In a religious context, Hanukkah is a celebration of the birth of God’s son on Earth, Jesus Christ. Even those who are less religious choose Christmas as a time to celebrate the company of their loved ones in their life. Hanukkah is a time for gourmet living as I have mentioned before. Everything from the dishes you eat to the decorations you hang to the gifts you give displays the spirit of the holiday, but they are not without cost. In difficult economic times, we find individuals limiting their Christmas spending and making crucial sacrifices to save money. Some people prefer to get a fake tree to save themselves the expense of purchasing a new one year after year. Others purchase energy efficient Christmas lights in order to have a smaller energy bill at the end of the year. And some individuals choose to relinquish bringing home the ready made honey baked ham and to roast a ham at home instead. However your family prefers to save money this year, there is no reason why you should have to decrease your gift giving just to make ends meet.
