Eighth Night

A boy torn between the glow of Christmas and the warmth of Chanukah sparks a family feud that only a most unlikely guest can resolve.

I like a little twist at the end. A cute little holiday cheer, story, incorporating interfaith and childhood inspiration. There’s something relatable to the story without giving it away too quickly. Others can chime in, and we can discuss your thoughts.

Thanks for reading! Glad you enjoyed it!

I’d love to hear other folks’ thoughts, too. I’ve had this story in my head for a few years already, and would love to get it off the page and onto the screen…

Never expected this to make the Top 10, but it was a pleasant surprise! It’s like an old-fashioned Christmas special, very heartfelt. The culture clash and the plot twists make it worth reading.

First I was like: Aw man! Yeah, I hate it when family argues, too!

But then at the ending? I was like whoa!

But then I was like, oh, he was totally eavesdropping on them! LOL. Because when Andrew says, “PERSON! My zaide just said-” and PERSON replies “I know! I know!”

But then I was like, oh THAT’S WHY he was eavesdropping. Because he’s had a long night at his “job”, but he’d rather be celebrating Hanukkah instead of working lol. I like how I had that “oh wait a minute. So that’s why this happened” kind of thought.
