Christmas is a holiday to have fun and be educated. It is a time of family and giveness. Although, Christmas is celebrated in many different ways.
Another way to celebrate Christmas is a holiday called Hanukkah. It is a Jewish Holiday. Hanukkah is an eight night celebration.It is celebrated with a menorah. A menorah is kinda like a candle but with a base and 8 candles instead of 1.
Hanukkah is celebrated because it is commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd Century BCE.
Kwanzaa is another way to celebrate Christmas. Kwanzaa is a week-long holiday celebrated throughout the world, honoring African heritage, marked by participants lighting a kinara (candle holder).
