So I bought the single SU minorah (sp) stamp last year b/c someone requested Jewish cards......is there anything I need to know about Hanukkah cards, etiquette, colors, is there something I should avoid putting on the card?? I searched the gallery and they all seem to be blue and white. I just would hate to offend anyone!!
Thanks in advance

There are no rules. Purples and blues with silver, gold, or white are the most common color schemes, but Chanukah candles and wrapping papers have all colors...
First, thank you for caring enough to ask the question!
I would avoid putting anything traditionally associated with Christmas on the card, even if you think they are just "the season." No snowmen, no wreaths, no holly -- you get what I mean.
Colors -- blue and white, blue and silver, blue and gold, blue and yellow, blue and grey -- or any combination there of are great. If you want to go a little edgy, you could use purple instead of blue. Or silver and white/gold and white for more elegant.
I'm happy to answer any other questions that you have.

Ok........I'll pose the question.....In this thread in the 3 Posts so far have spelled the name of the Holiday you're talking about 2 different ways. I would think you should establish the correct spelling or if either is correct so as not to offend anyone you may be sending a card to. Are both ways correct or is it a matter of opinion which is correct?
Please my comment is not to offend anyone nor to start an argument, just feel it should be clarified as to proper spelling.

Truly, the only correct way to spell it is in Hebrew. There is no standardized way in English, so all of these variations are fine:
The first letter is a /kh/ sound, like when you clear your throat.
And for your fun fact of the day, in Spanish it is spelled Januca
Feliz Januca!

I send my Jewish friend a Merry Christmas Card (handmade) and she sends me a Happy Hanukah (store bought) card. This way we are both respectful of each other's holiday and don't make a mistake in something inappropriate.
The only cards I dislike getting are ones that don't spell out the holiday and only abbreviate it.
Hanukkah card question from a lil Catholic girl?
