On the first night of Hanukkah, which happens to be tonight December 21, 2008 (also Winter Solstice) the highest candle, the Shamus candle, is lit first and then used to light one candle in the farthest right position of the menorah. On the second night the Shamus is lit again and two candles are lit and so on for a total of eight nights, each successive night adding one more candle.
