I don't know if you remember but last year around this time I spotted Buddy the Elf in that Gotye song: 
This year I was at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art when I spotted him again. I found him in a painting by Magnus Zeller circa 1920 called The Orator. 
Here is the video of this scene from the movie: Last night was Mike's holiday party at The Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Blvd. The theme was a black and gold masquerade cocktail party and dinner. I wore an Aidan Mattox dress of course. :) It was a fun night!     To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle, Every cubic inch of space is a miracle. ~Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass 
May love and light fill your home and heart at Hanukkah. ~Author Unknown 
Colorful candles burning bright, each lit on eight very special nights. - Anonomous 
May the lights of Hanukkah usher in a better world for all humankind. - Unknown 
In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it "Christmas" and went to church; the Jews called it "Hanukkah" and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say "Merry Christmas!" or "Happy Hanukkah!" or (to the atheists) "Look out for the wall!" ~Dave Barry
Our Menorah 
The first night of Hanukkah we forgot to get the candles so we used birthday candles...oops. We used the real ones after that. Our Food 
Latkes with sour cream or apple sauce to dip and some random sausages that Mike picked out. Our Music 
The United States has a history of recognizing and celebrating Hanukkah in a number of ways, from menorah lighting ceremonies to a 1996 postage stamp, jointly issued with Israel, to special receptions in the White House (although the United States has not had any Jewish presidents). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Hanukkah_Party
