Hanukkah (sometimes spelled Chanukah) is the traditional Jewish holiday celebration. The Festival of Lights is actually 8 nights where the family lights the Menorah, says prayers and follows specific kosher food regulations while celebrating with their family. This time also includes a fit for each night. To learn more details about the holiday, you can check out this great Guide to Hanukkah from InterFaith Family.

Reasons to celebrate Hanukkah
My family (Katie here) are not Jewish but we do have a great interest in learning and educating our son about other faiths and traditions. Hanukkah is not a game to play, but a real cultural and religious holiday that is followed and celebrated by many with reverence. While games and crafts may be a part of this, it has a true message that is important to the Jewish culture. In recent years, adding this to our holiday traditions is something we chose to do as a family. With such a mixed background of religion and faith or lack of in our family unit, we really wanted to open our son to learn more about how others view God, faith, and religion.
Our son loves the addition of 8 more gifts to the holiday, but we also take the time each year to eat a traditional kosher Hanukkah meal, and talk about what the Festival of Lights represented to the Jewish people. This, along with our celebration of Christmas and the birth of Christ, comes together to help our son learn more about religion, faith, and what he will choose to believe and follow as he grows up.
