``Let's be Happy''
by Malvine P. Hoenig

Sung to the tune of Maos Zur (Rock of Ages)

Let's be happy, let us cheer,
Hanukkah again is here.
All the lights are shining bright,
Isn't it a lovely sight?

You know these lights remind us
Of the time long, long ago,
When God caused one, tiny light,
for eight long days to shine so bright.

Here is a recipie for Meowmies

Mix the egg yolks and sugar with the vanilla and rind, and add to the dough. Add the remaining flour and the butter and knead. Allow to rise until double in bulk (about 45 minutes).

Roll out on a floured board to a thickness of 1/2 inch, and cut into rounds. Put a teaspoon of jam in the center of one round, and cover it with another round. Press the edges together and allow to rise again in a warm place.

Fry in hot oil, drain, and dust with icing sugar.

Happy Chanukah!
