Sugarfina 2021 8 Nights of Delight Hanukkah Calendar: Now Available

Right, but I was responding to what Rach said about Advent calendars being hard to find (which is what the reviewer said at the end), not that this was an Advent calendar itself.

But Hanukkah is an 8 day holiday where small gifts are given each of the 8 days. So how is it that people are so perplexed by the idea of a calendar having 8 days worth of small gifts for Hanukkah???? This has NOTHING to do with Advent calendars or looking for “an advent calendar” for a different religion. Why does everything have to be viewed as a comparison to or in view of Christmas – can’t those of the Jewish faith just have their own holiday (that, fyi, may or may not fall close to Christmas – Hanukkah is on the same day each year on the Hebrew calendar, but the Hebrew calendar does not coincide with the traditional calendar year, so Hanukkah actually moves around each year relative to Christmas).

But this isn’t an Advent calendar. It’s a Hannukah calendar.

I’m not Jewish, but I’ve always been under the impression that people get a small gift each day of Hannukah. So this box actually makes more sense for that that holiday than an Advent calendar does for Christmas. Traditionally, Christians don’t get gifts for every day of Advent.

Good reply Mary L.! I think most of us can agree that the “holiday” season (aka gift giving season,) is way different than the actual religious holidays that are meant to be celebrated during this time. I keep the two separate because frankly, one has nothing to do with the other. People can enjoy their “advent” ahem, holiday calenders to their hearts’ desire. All it pretty much is is money spent.

Thanks Juju! I did end up doing the math and realizing that yes…this is ridiculously overpriced.
