Q. (See question 4577). Why it is inappropriate to place presents by the Menorah?
A. As we mentioned, it is when the Menorah is tall like a tree and thus the gifts around it give the impression of making it similar to a Christmas tree.
Indeed, it is not uncommon to place candies, chocolate coins and other appropriate children’s gifts by or close to the regular menorah.
