    As I predicted, got shoes in my last box despite the fact my palette was full of other kind of stuff.

    Speaking of gigs - I'm just finishing up the perfume storyline and can I just say that I am annoyed at how star expensive it is? After spending 25 on that bottle WHY did I have to pay another 10 for the billboard?! I didn't want to back down with a party and had to watch videos over 2 days - Monday and last night - to grab it. PLEASE more things in Kash GLU!

    At least the fragrance bottle and the billboard are concrete stuff, the worst part is to pay 10 stars to hire Carolina Veloso, like what's the point???

    Talking about that storyline, think it was @Pez who mentioned that after completing the gig at 10ax the old billboard comes back to its place. I finished that storyline, but the reality show billboard didn't made its return, wonder what went wrong?!

    I wonder if the fragrance billboard stays if you paid for it? Seems a waste to spend k-stars and then it goes away in another gig. I didn't pay for the bottle or billboard so Willow got it... but now it's back to my reality billboard. But I'd be miffed if I paid for the billboard and that happened, because otherwise what was the point?

    That makes sense @soundspretty ! I paid for the billboard :#

    Ugh! I wish we could change between the billboards anytime we want.

    Ohhh what if you had the option of changing billboards based on the businesses you own? So like if you owned the art gallery, you could have a billboard advertised for that. Or the salon, theme park, etc. each have their own themes advertising your business. So many possibilities!

    No problem @webra I feel honoured to be able to do this, it's a whole new feeling.

    So it is the 3rd day of Chanukah and it was pretty busy of course we give the kids gelts everyday, I even got a Jewish cookbook myself ? and I love cooking so that just makes the cookbook gift even more awesome. :smiley:

    We had jelly doughnuts too nom nom anyhoo I will paraphrase the story of Chanukah or Hanukkah.

    Hanukkah is about God's protection of the Israelites, and the miracles that occurred on that day.The holiday celebrates the triumph of faith and courage over military might, when a band of Israelites stood up for their right to be Jewish. They were prohibited under penalty of death from studying their sacred texts or performing important mitzvot. Their holy Temple had been defiled, and they were ordered to worship other gods. However, a small band of faithful Israelites, known as the Maccabees, rose up and defeated the invaders, reclaimed the Temple, and rededicated it to God. The eternal flame in the Temple's great menorah (lamp stand) had to burn everything down. But the sacred olive oil needed to burn in the lamp stand took 8 days to press and purify. The Jews had only a one-day supply of oil. They decided, in faith, to light the flame anyway. And, a great miracle occurred. The jug of oil refilled itself every day with enough oil to relight the Temple's great menorah, and this continued for 7 days, the exact time it took to prepare new oil! It is a common misconception that the oil burned continuously for 8 days. Since that time, Hanukkah has been celebrated for 8 days to recall the miracle when the menorah burned for 8 days at the Temple. The main miracle of Hanukkah is the victory of the Maccabees against the most powerful army in the world.

    I'm proud to be Jewish, the strength, faith and love of my people is so overwhelming, the stories my grandma tells me of how they left Russia and went to Germany then to the states I still feel like a kid when I hear them, my grandparents are so brave and so humble regardless of what they've been through as kids and as adults they're still the same people I've grown up around, the same people who raised me, I strive to be exactly what they practised and lived by.

    We say two blessings again and we kindle three candles in the Menorah.

    Tonight is the fourth Night of Chanukah we recite blessings 1 and 2 and kindle four lights in the menorah. The menorah should be lit before lighting the Shabbat Candles (18 minutes before sunset).

    didn't have a gif so here's a photo of the Shabbat Candles, the Shabbat Candles are lit at 3.35 PM and since the sun sets here at 3.54 PM we lit them 19 minutes before sunset.

    Lighting of the Shabbat Candles

    yes Shabbat usually lasts for about 25 hours so it doesn't last as long as Chanukah does

    The Sabbath is a part of the deal between God and the Jewish People, so celebrating it is a reminder of the Covenant and an occasion to rejoice in God's kept promises.

    well it doesn't really matter to me whatever you prefer is fine with me if you'd like to keep it here then we can and if people still come into this thread and look they can or you can move it to the new thread @kokokokonut

    Hi Koko thanks for replying.

    This is how my Kollections is glitching. It used to be fine. 



    Hi. Mine looks like that. If you want to play, you tap the button that says 20 Stars. then a window pops up "This costs 20 Stars do you want to proceed" (or some warning) then you play. I don't mean to sound dumb, but what happens when you tap the 20 Stars button? See the collection shows you everything available, you hit the 20 stars button to play. It's not like the other gift boxes, where we tap a specific closed box we want.
    Tapping the button does nothing. That's the glitch ?

    The same thing is happening to me... ?? help??? 
  • astrayastray Registered Users 1,538 Posts
    Saturday was a pretty busy day for me, giving gifts and singing songs, but I'm here to light the Menorah

    Since tonight is the fifth Night of Chanukah we recite blessings 1 and 2 and kindle five lights in the menorah. The menorah is lit after Shabbat ends (Shabbat ended around 4 PM here) and the Havdalah is recited.

    Havdalah is Hebrew for “separation” and refers to the verbal declaration made at the end of Shabbat or a Jewish holiday, in which the holy day is separated from the mundane period that follows.

    Good grief Chanukah has been keeping me busy I've began slacking a bit on lighting the Menorah on here.

    So tonight is the sixth Night of Chanukah

    so that means recite two blessings and kindle six lights in the menorah, there's also a song called Eight Days of Hanukkah that I've been meaning to share but Chanukah or Hanukkah has had me pretty darn busy, not to mention had to celebrate a birthday as well.

    Anyhoo

    The sixth night of Chanukah




    I'm pretty exhausted so I'm heading to bed, g'night.

    Happy Chanukah!

    I got a pretty good TB palette last week:



    Some really nice items in there, and the dress I got is pretty. Here is Everly modeling it:

    thanks @haftime

    okay so we are halfway through Chanukah, sadly but hey there's CHRISTMAS! Woot woot! *dances* haha

    Tonight is the seventh Night of Chanukah and we recited two blessings and kindle seven lights in the menorah.

    So today is eighth Night of Chanukah

    This is usually and almost always the most sensitive part of Chanukah for me since it ultimately must come to an end tomorrow. However, that means Christmas is here in 5 days tomorrow

    Since tonight is the eighth Night of Chanuka, we recite blessings 1 and 2 and kindle eight lights in the menorah

    You're quite welcome @Charli

    Anyhoo as you all know Chanukah has now come to an end and yesterday (it is now the first day of Winter here, yay) was such a long day for me. Another Chanukah gone and me with having the duty to clean the wax off the Menorah again, quite honestly I don't mind it hehe.

    Just wanted to thank everyone especially @kokokokonut for being a huge help and GLU for allowing me to share my religion with you all on the forum.

    Thank you all so much, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :smile:

    It's nearly 5 AM, g'night

    Thank you Lucas. I was sick for most of it, but reading back and seeing all the work you put in, and the sharing of yourself really made me feel like I experienced a little of your tradition, and I definitely have a better understanding and greater appreciation. But the celebration really needs a few more current songs. Can we count on you again for next year? Maybe others will join in and assist. :)
