A חסיד and a מתנגד were traveling through a forest on חנוכה and stopped in the evening to light the candles.  When the חסיד screamed out the ברכות, the מתנגד asked why he screamed.  “After all,” he said, “I don’t hear you scream when you say אשר יצר.”  The חסיד replied:  “Trust me,” he said, “if I said אשר יצר only eight times a year, I’d scream that even louder.”
