Hanukkah falls on December 8 to 16 this year, which gives you just enough time to find an amazing menorah to celebrate in style. I've been really impressed with the new designs at some of my favorite home design sources, pushing expectations and allowing us to commemorate a traditional holiday with our modern-day sensibilities.

Another conceptual piece, called the Breakable Menorah, requires you to snap a candleholder for each day of the holiday to use it. You break each once and then use the candleholders in their broken state year after year.

| I was glad to see Roost, known for its use of Craftsmen techniques and its sustainability efforts, offer a contemporary menorah design at a low price. I appreciate this simple menorah's clean lines. |

Lastly, I was tickled pink by the Candlesticks United menorah. The menorah was used a symbol of unity in biblical times. The use of candlesticks from ceremonies past, found and reused in a collaborative effort to create one new menorah, has a beautiful sentiment to it. This piece is from the portfolio of Reddish Studio and not for retail sale, but be sure to contact the designer if you are interested in it.

Most of these chanukias are NOT appropriate for lighting candles. The candles must be in a straight line and at the same height (with the exception of the shamash--the candle that lights the others). And you need nine candles. Sorry to be a buzzkill but its important.
