Or La'goyim

So it's the week before chanukah... hence i'm randomness as i try to think of an inspirtational thought, just for you Lea! umm.......
So we're supposed to be 'or la'goyim' eh! We'll then why are we lighting our menorah's privately by our house. (I know that they used to light them together in the town square, publicly, but let's forget that for now k ?)
I think that the reason H'Shem has put us in the situation where we're lighting INSIDE our houses, in chutz la'artez, it to teach us a speacial message and remind us of something more nesseccary here then in eretz yisroel.
In cutz la'aretz we are challenged by the large poplulation of goyim and their media freely publisizes their 'ideals' and 'morals.' One may be confused and think that they're supposed to reflec and mirror this behaviour. I feel that we are getting a message not to think or do this! We are SUPPOSED to DRESS and THINK differently. We live by different morals and have a different center. This is strangthened by the fact that we bring the menora INSIDE our houses. Only through strengthening our home and selves frist can we shine forth into the world and be or la'goyim and the rest of klal yisroel
