My family celebrates Hanukkah. This Festival of Lights lasts eight days in November or December. We celebrate the miracle of the cruse of oil. We decorate a little bush with multicoloured tinsel and the Star of David. For eight days, we light the candles of the menorah. And every evening, we have a new present! It's my favourite time of the year!
