Hanukkah Gifts and Chanuka Gelt

It the Hanukkah tradition to play with the draydel, in Hebrew which is a four-sided spinning top that we play with on Chanukah. A festive family occasion with yummy foods and songs, Hannukah is also when children traditionally receive lots of Hanukkah gifts or money, known as Hanukkah gelt (money) each evening after the candles are lit. Some people prefer giving Hanukkah Baskets or actual coins for Chanukah gelt but a popular fad is the coins made of chocolate! You can also use chocolate gelt to play the fun gane of dreidel Chanukah nights. You can get Chanukah gelt in a large variety, in silver or gold foil-wrapped dark or milk chocolate coins. You can also an assortment of candy-filled dreidel/tops.
