Happy Chanukkah!

As another Festival of Lights comes to a close, we remember that the reason for the Hanukkah lights, is not for the "lighting of the house within", but rather for the "illumination of the house without," so that passers-by should see it and be reminded of the holiday's miracle.

Today, we Brights recognize that the miracles, magic, and mysticism, that accompany ancient ritual, are simply bad attempts to explain the unknown, but this does not mean that we can't continue to celebrate the Chanukkah message of triumph, and hope for a Brighter future.

Accordingly, lamps set up at a prominent window or near the door leading to the street, send a Bright message to the world that while we Brights reject the supernatural, we have a deep respect for our culture and history, and that of others.
