would u rather the option of not having any frum family members or chanukah parties to go to? bc this way stinks too. my dc is young so it doesnt effect him yet. but it will eventually when his classmates have get togethers and its just us together. I hate the chagim

Hey! Child of BTs here with barely any relatives at all and no frum ones. Just want to say that we have only wonderful memories of Chanukah as kids even though our friends had grand extended family parties. We chose fun suppers every night, had dance parties in the kitchen, had special treats and fun games, I loved Chanukah. Now I'm married to a BT and my siblings live far away so my kids are in the same position I was, but I'm not worried because I know how wonderful Chanukah can be even without a big family.
I know this isn't the point of this thread but I want to make sure you know that your child will be fine, you can and will have beautiful Chanukah memories if you want to.
