Homewood-Flossmoor residents gathered on a cold, rainy New Year’s Eve to participate in the village’s nightly candle-lighting ceremony in honor of Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
Larry and Nancy Burrows, who have lived in Flossmoor for 39 years, lit the menorah and led attendees in the blessing for the evening. The couple reminisced on their long-standing traditions of celebrating Hanukkah with their children and now with their grandchildren.
