Happy Hanukkah Cuties!

Tonite at sundown marks the first evening of Hanukkah. In celebration we bring you a photo of three year old me and my Mommy with a Hanukkah gift of a Jack in the box. Behind my Mom is a stuffed tiger (he was my fave!) along with a styrofoam hanging decoration she had made then blinged with glitter in the shapes of dreidels, menorahs and other holiday objects.

Happy Hanukkah to all and Hello There Cuties to my parents who I wish I could celebrate these holidays with. I love and miss them much. xxxo

Cutemaskah Hanukkah Cuties

This is a vintage Israeli poster from the Jewish National Fund that was done in 1960 to commemorate Hanukkah. The two very cutie Eretz Israeli children are together with a menorah, perhaps to light on this last nite of Hanukkah (and the 9th of Cutemaskah). As an fyi, you're going to need some more candles Cuties!!! xxxo

Cutemaskah Kitty

Isn't it nice of Hello Kitty to wish us all a Happy Hanukkah? She does seem a bit confused in her Christmas dress and holiday song book but hey, she's cute so can get away with it. And perhaps, by mixing the two holidays, she's also truly us a Happy Cutemaskah! Thanks Kitty!!! xxxo

Hanukkah + Cutemaskah = Cutie!

Happy Hanukkah Cuties! May your dreidels only spin winners so you get lotsa gelt candy, and fabulous gifts await you with each nights candle. Oh, and hope you're as mellow about that dreidel as this kitty is. xxxo

Kitty card can be found on Etsy

1930s Cutie

In honor of the last pm of Hanukkah, we present this cutie lighting her menorah. It's a postcard printed in the 1930s, and illustrated by Annie Bergman. This little gal is being so careful with her matches and has such an intent expression on her face... a v. serious cutie is she! If we told her about Cutemaskah, might it make her smile a wee bit? xxxo

Cute Chanukkah Cat

speechless.

Shmutz the Cutie Octopus

On the fourth night of Hanukkah, my true love gave to me...Shmutz!

Meshugeneh, But Cute

"Meshugeneh" is the Yiddish word for "crazy"...but this cute monkey doesn't look any more insane than your average simian. What a great gift he would make on one of the remaining nights of Hanukkah!

Squirrel-y Cute

Hanukkah = Happy
Hanukkah + Adorable squirrel lighting his acorn menorah
= Cutie Happy
A totally Hello There Cutie Happy card... xxxo

Cute & Blue-ish

I wish someone had this cutie bear to hug as the festival of lights continues. I send this out to someone special on this rainy California morning.

Cute & Plush

What says Cutemaskah more than a plush dreidel hat on on blue doggie hand puppet?

A Cutemaskah Stocking???

This stocking from the 1950s seems to be a celebration of Cutemaskah... we didn't realize the holiday had been around that long! With images of Christmas, Hanukkah and some adorable animals, it's like someone read our minds before we were born. Well, whoever David is, I hope he's having a wonderful Cutemaskah season! xxxo

Whooo's A Hanukkah Cutie?

Retro owls are almost always cutie worthy... throw in that it's a Hanukkah one, double points! We adore his whip-stitched flower eyes, and that his outer wings are solid blue. Whooo wouldn't like him to light their menorah? Hello There Cutie!!! xxxo
