Hey there! So we all know there are Christmas items, but how about Hanukkah items? I celebrate both holidays but there are some people who only celebrate Hanukkah and it isn't really fair that they don't have any special items!

Hey there!

I think this could be really cute but it is difficult from an Artworker perspective. With Christmas, there are a lot of well-known hats and items that can be turned into models in MC, but with Hanukkah, there aren't many. I'm not Jewish so my knowledge is limited, so the only two I can think of are the Menorah and Dreidel which wouldn't really work. Do you have any ideas for things that could work?

Also, something to keep in mind is that we try to keep religion out of Potterworld as much as possible. When it comes to the holidays it can be argued that Christmas has turned into more of a global cultural tradition and many people celebrate it without being Christian or religious. That isn't true with Hannaukah though as most of those who celebrate it are Jewish.

Hi! I'm Jewish so maybe I could offer something as an idea. I totally understand if this is denied, I get the whole thing with religion.
However, this hat I think would be REALLY cute - a dreidel headband!
(same thing with hearts would be reallllyy cute for valentines day :eyes:

I don't like your idea and it sure will be declined because 1.) Religious stuff isn't allowed. 2.) Not everyone knows what Hanukkah is. I am sorry, but it will be declined :(.

@Lord Clevelort I respect your opinion but Christmas stuff can be consider religious in some people's eyes, and some people don't know about Christmas as well! But I do see where you are coming from. Hope you have a nice day

It's not a Christmas Event, it is the Winter Waltz (aka Yule Ball) which is taken from the series. Both the canon and our version happen to take place during the holiday season, but that doesn't make it Christmas themed or religious. :D

As Sunnya clarified, we don't actually host specific holiday events, but generalised periods - like the Winter Waltz

Because Christmas does at least apper in HP. Hanukkah not.
Are you sure that everyone knows what Hanukkah is?
Just because people may not know what they are doesn't mean those who do shouldn't have things that celebrate it. Also us bringing attention to it as a server will educate people which is great.

I think this is a great idea but I do understand the limitations around it since you are attempting to keep religion out of the server. But it's important to note things like reindeers are Christmas related they aren't generalised for the winter time or the Yule ball.

Yes! If you look in the store there are CHRISTMAS HATS and CHRISTMAS related items in the store..
