Hanukkah is the Jewish Festival of Lights, a holiday that
dates back to ancient times. It celebrates
a miracle, but it isn't a major holiday on the Jewish
calendar in the way that Christmas is for Christians. However,
in many homes and communities, Hanukkah celebrations have
grown more prominent due in part to the influence of Christian
Christmas celebrations
and traditional gift-giving occasions that occur in December.
