"I like Chanukah
because you get lots
of presents. Last
Chanukah I got a
dart board, a pool
set, a foosball table,
a game book of Star Wars,
Monopoly and one more thing:
Stratego. That's everything."
Aaron Pickover,

"I like Chanukah
because I get a lot of
presents like baby
wild animals. I got a
lion, a rhino and a
little hippo and a little tiger."

I get last Chanukah?
Hmm. I forget.
"Also, I like to light the menorah.
My parents light the match, then put
it on the Chanukah candle and then

"I like to eat latkes with nothing
on them, and I like cookies. I don't
like spinach, but I'd try some."

"I like Chanukah
because I get to light
candles and I get pre-
sents. One time I got
a tent. I keep my ball in there."

was one time I got a
twin doll; it was a
twin doll because it looked just like
me with the same color eyes but it
had a different shaped nose. I
bring it to places with my cousins
because they have twin dolls, too,
and we like to pretend that we're
orphans. Also, I got an American
Girl for my birthday and now I
have two: Samantha and Kristen.
The most exciting thing in the world
was when I got my ears pierced.
I'm going to be 7 in two months.
