Shabbat shalom my fellow Jewish CrunchGear readers! Since there are so many Xmas posts asking what you got and wishing you a happy holiday, I figured I’d do one for us Jews (I converted, hence the Italian last name). I hope you all had eight great nights of hanukkah and enjoyed the pounds of gelt you got!
So my fellow Jewish readers, what did you receive or give for Hanukkah? I gave my best friend an iPod Shuffle with some cases. You?

You put a picture of a Menorah, when you should have put a picture of a Hanukiah.

Thanks for the thought, Vince :)
We don’t do much Chanukah gift-giving for some reason — a little bit of money went around (for savings, mostly). I guess there’s always next year for the bigger gifts. :)

@ Elliot
I’ll turn the other way before chuckling
As for OTHER jew-readers, come on! Let us know! I got Grey’s Anatomy Season 2 on DVD, some keith haring artwork, beer, and cash. Sweet!

A sweet Oppo Digital DVD player. If you’ve got an HDTV, it’s the best money you can spend.

Why does your menorah only have 6 candles? Should have 8.

Looks to me like a Kwanzaa candle set - here’s quick info:
http://www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org/symbols.shtml
Kinara (The Candle Holder) This is symbolic of our roots, our parent people - continental Africans.
Mishumaa Saba (The Seven Candles) These are symbolic of the Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles, the matrix and minimum set of values which African people are urged to live by in order to rescue and reconstruct their lives in their own image and according to their own needs.

The first 4 seasons of 24, I already had the 5th, the West Wing box set, a few best buy gift cards and thats about it. A few other stuff here and there but I didn’t ask for anything other than dvd’s I hadn’t already purchased for myself.

Oh my god. I just looked at my menorah then at my pic I posted. I feel like such a bad jew. Guess that makes sense (heh heh heh).
Cool gifts guys. Glad to see everyone got cool stuff!
