Sweets and card from Lisa and Kaila (L); Candle lighting over FaceTime with Ari and Kate (R)

Despite not leaving our home or hosting a holiday gathering, this Chanukah has been very social for us. Mama and I lit candles over FaceTime with dear family friends in Santa Cruz tonight. What a joy to see their faces again!

We also received a glorious package of homemade sweets and a cute card from our friends, Lisa and Kaila. The treats are delicious!

So although this year has physically separated us from our friends, it has also brought us closer to them. We miss the hugs, but we are enjoying connecting in new ways.

Today’s #OneGoodThing with Mama was 7th night delights! May the lights of Chanukah usher in a better world for us all! What was your #OneGoodThing today? Please share in the comments! And remember, kindness is everything!
