One child will be a candle, another a match, and the third one, 12 year old boy prefers to be a person, like a mother, but he's not going to dress up as a girl. Any ideas? Last year one was a tzedaka box, one money, and he was a rich man. He doesn't have to be like everyone else, but he doesn't care and I prefer it if possible.

If he wants to dress up as a person -

With the thread title about candles, I thought you posted in the wrong subforum!

Lamplighter

Cohen gadol

If you're ok with more indirect references, a teacher or anyone who spiritually "lights up" other people

He can carry a feather and be the abba performing bedikas chametz. That will get everyone into the purim spirit!

Blowtorch.


Firefighter?
Candlestick maker?
Tatti doing bedikas chometz?

But a blowtorch is still better IMO.

We once did "ki ner mitzvah v'Torah Ohr". So, one was a torah, one was a candle, maybe one was a mitzvah e.g. mishloah monos, & I do think one was a key! Sorry if I made you groan.

Summer vacation just started and purim starts when school starts, so I like to start thinking now and slowly take care of it over the summer.

it's funny that you brought that up because my dd just commented this morning that the other side of the world has chanuka in the summer.
