"christmas is 6 days latter"

 

Huh? 6 days later than what? This year Hanukkah started on the 15th and ends the evening of the 22nd (it changes from year to year, btw). So this year, Christmas is either 10 days after the start of Hanukkah or 3 days after the end of Hanukkah.

 

My boys had a great Hanukkah visiting with their grandparents, and I wish everyone who celebrates it a great last couple of days of Hanukkah!(This message has been edited by DanKroh)

As a kid, I always thought that Hannukah was a pretty cool holiday. My Jewish pals would get presents all week long, while I would only get them on the 25th.

 

Later in life, my dad started celebrating the equinoxes and solstices. So my kids get presents on Dec 21 as well.

 

I have a friend whose wife is a Jehovahs Witness. His son doesn't get any presents at all. I know there are religious reasons for that, but I still think it's sad.

 

Giving presents to children is good.
