Mariah Carey shared a video with her children to mark the beginning of Hanukkah on Sunday.

In the short clip, the Grammy winner introduced her 10-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan to a song about the Festival of Lights.

"Learned this one in grade school, thought I'd teach it to Roc & Roe," Mariah tweeted alongside a video of her performing it to her yawning children. Because her kids appeared a little unimpressed -- Moroccan rolls his eyes while Monroe dramatically yawns -- the singer jokingly added, "I don't think they've got it yet."
