Does anyone else celebrate Chanukah only with their teens/tweens
I am struggling with this and wonder if there is someone else in the same situation. I have always given my kids 8 presents--one each night for Chanukah--but at their ages (turning 10 and 13 in Feb) I feel like it might serve their needs better to give them one big present--now they do get a bigger present at the end, but I mean putting all the money to one big present. I can't seem to do it though, I love the tradition of 8 nights/presents..so, the best I can do is scale down on the other nights as much as possible, including giving things they need/I want them to have, and go for a biggish present at the end.
Anyone else in this situation and what do you do?
