Eight nights of light — and the whole family gathered around it, near or far.
Hanukkah is its own holiday, with its own story: the rededication of the Temple, the oil that lasted, eight nights of candles growing brighter. It is not anyone's version of another holiday, and this pack never treats it as one. It holds the whole arc — a greeting that can travel across all eight nights, the invitation to the night your family gathers, a card for the family joining by video, the thank-you after, and a keepsake of this year's lights.
A card arc that spans the eight nights. One greeting, sent on the first night — or a short note each night, the same design carrying a different line as the candles grow. The guide lays out both ways; your family picks. This year the first candle is lit at sundown on Friday, December 4, and the eighth day ends at nightfall on Saturday, December 12 — and because the first night falls on Shabbat, the guide notes the candle-lighting order families follow (Friday's candles before sundown; Saturday's after nightfall), with one instruction that outranks ours: check your family's practice and a reliable calendar like Hebcal for your own times.
Your family's words lead. "Hanukkah Sameach," "Chag Sameach," "Happy Hanukkah" — the greeting is your family's phrase, in English, in transliteration, or in Hebrew your family writes. Hebrew appears in this pack only where your family supplies it, spelled exactly as you write it. Blessings over the candles are your family's and your tradition's words — the pack offers a bracketed place for them, never a printed text.
Every family shape, at the same table. One parent or two, grandparents hosting across three generations, blended and interfaith families, chosen family, family on a screen from another time zone — host lines and family lines are fields your family fills. In an interfaith home, nothing in this pack blends Hanukkah into another holiday's symbols or words; each observance keeps its own register, side by side if your family keeps both.
The edit guide also holds one quiet option: a small remembrance element for the one who isn't at the table this year, present in the keepsake in your family's own words. Offered there only, never printed by default.

- Gathering invitation card — the night your family gathers: which night, time, place, RSVP name and number, in the same design.
- Far-away card — a screen-moment card for family joining the candle-lighting by video: the time written in both time zones, sent ahead so they can light along with you from where they are.

- Keepsake card — this year's photo and a line in your family's words; made to stand beside last year's.

- Layered source files (SVG) — every word editable in free tools.

The details sheet
Write it once. Check it here. Never from memory.
Every name and date goes on this sheet first, in letter boxes, with the weekday checked against the date — before a single card is built. Precision is a form of love, so we made it part of the suite.
Questions, answered plainly
Is Hanukkah treated as "the Jewish Christmas" here?
Never. Hanukkah is its own holiday — the rededication, the oil, the eight nights — and this pack is built only from Hanukkah's own story and customs. No other holiday's symbols or wording appear anywhere in it.
Can one card really span eight nights?
Yes — the guide shows both patterns: one greeting on the first night, or the same card sent nightly with one line changed as the candles grow. The details sheet lays out all eight nights with their dates so nothing is sent on the wrong evening.
What about the Friday-night timing this year?
In 2026 the first candle falls on Friday, December 4 — lit before sundown, ahead of Shabbat candles; Saturday's candles are lit after nightfall. The guide flags this and sends you to your family's practice and a calendar like Hebcal for exact local times. Your tradition's practice outranks our notes, always.
Does the pack print the candle blessings?
No. Blessings are sacred words; they appear only if your family writes them into the bracketed field, in Hebrew or transliteration exactly as your family has them.
We're an interfaith family. Does this blend the holidays?
No — blending is the one thing this pack won't do. Hanukkah keeps its own words and symbols here. Families who keep two holidays keep them side by side, each in its own register, and many send each pack's greeting separately to the people who share it.
Is anything mailed to me?
No. This is a digital download.
