Christmas isn't the only holiday or holy day of the season. My in-laws will be celebrating Hanukkah beginning at sundown on the 1st of December. This Feast of Lights last for 8 days - stories are told, special meals are eaten, candles are lit to commemorate the miracle of the oil in the temple, and gifts are given... and of course there are symbols of their rich history, faith and celebration all about.
