Chanukah/Hanukkah

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah

My host family is jewish so we celebrated the jewish Holiday Hanukkah. It started at December 6th and ended at December 14th. Every day we got presents and lighted a candle. They also thought me the history of Hanukkah (See link below). I got a fuzzy blanket, a Patriots Shirt and Pyjama Pants, a Gift Card, Socks, and lots of other things. I really liked all of my presents. I think it was interesting to see how they celebrate Hanukkah even if it didn´t feel like a Holiday for me. At the last day of Hanukkah we went to church and ate food with the people at church. It was kind of nice to eat in the small group, talking about our week and everything. It was nice. I was glad that I could experience that.
