The December celebration begins on Dec 16 with posadas in homes. Families reenact Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter, then break pinatas for gifts. Midnight mass marks the last night, and Christmas Day is quiet. Real gifts arrive on Jan 6, with children leaving shoes for the Wise Men’s camels.
Hanukkah is a December holiday varying in date each year lasting eight nights. Jewish children play with a dreidel, a toy top with ancient roots used when worship was restricted. Latkes, special pancakes, are served during the celebration.
