In America they would gather to celebrate Thanksgiving and they will do so at the dinner table. The meal, with roots in the ancient traditions of harvest festivals and in the religious fervor of the Puritans who settled here, has grown into a secular feast of abundance.

So here’s the…

One ritual my family experiences is having an early Thanksgiving dinner and watching the Dallas Cowboys game. The tradition starts late on the night before thanksgiving.

Hanukkah is a holiday celebrated by Jews. It is an eight day celebration of lights and fun. Hanukkah is celebrated to devote to the Holy Temple of Jerusalem. Which is why Hanukkah is a hebrew word which means dedication. Believe it or not Hanukkah can actually be pronounced and spelled two different ways. The candelabra lighting is the main part of the festival. The candelabra holds nine candles. However one of the candles is the shamash, also known as the consequent, which is used to light all…
