Today I’m handing the blog over to Elle from <\/span>Cherry and Me, who has written this festive tutorial on a fun twist to her holiday decorating. Today is the first day of Chanukah a Jewish Festival also known as the Festival of Lights. Take it away Elle… <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I come from a Jewish family but this year I thought I’d celebrate my first festive season as a new mummy by decorating a tree!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I bought a “Joost” baby Christmas tree from <\/span>The Design Files Open House. Joost grows all his own plants and creates the most amazing and innovative contemporary installations around Melbourne.<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s no glitzy tinsel and not one bauble in site on my tree! Nope! I’m decorating my tree with Chanukah ornaments!<\/span>
\nThese are Chanukah ‘dradles’. They are kind of like spinning tops with Hebrew letters on each side.<\/span>\"\"<\/a>My sister and I tied strings around each dradle to hang all over the tree. We even made a Star of David for the top! Keeping things a little kosher \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n

Ta-da! The finished product! Isn’t is cute?<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a>I think I’ll plant the tree in a terra-cotta pot after the silly season is over and hopefully we can do it all again next year!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks Elle, and Happy Chanukah to you, and to all my Jewish friends and readers!<\/span>
\nx Cinti<\/span><\/p>\n

LOVE IT? PIN IT!<\/strong><\/div>\n
