Christmas and Hanukkah happen in the month of December, but they are celebrated by different religions. During Christmas, we spend time with our family and open presents that are stacked as high as mountains. Many homes have stockings filled to the brim with trinkets and toys. The houses are beautifully decorated with lights and greenery during the holiday season. The Christmas tree is another tradition in some homes.
Some houses put figures in the yard or on the roof.
Hanukkah is celebrated by the Jewish religion. It is also celebrated with friends and family. Hanukkah is celebrated for eight days and children receive gifts on each of the days. We will celebrate the new millennium on January 1st. Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th.
