Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday that lasts 8 days and 8 nights. 2000 years ago the Antiochus IV Epiphanes tried to invade the the Jewish Maccabeus's temple and kill them if they didn't worship the Greek gods. they lit one candle of the menorah and they thought they had no hope because they only had enough oil for one night. But the oil lasted for eight whole nights! The whole war. The Jewish Maccabeus ended up winning. So the the tradition for Hanukkah is lighting a menorah. You light the starting candle in the middle and for eight days you use it to light all the other candles. Also, you get a present for each day.

The day after Christmas (or the first weekday, if December 26 falls on the weekend) is a legal holiday known as Boxing Day in the United Kingdom, Canada, and several other countries. In South Africa since 1980 the holiday has been known as the Day of Goodwill.

It is possible that Boxing Day received its name because churches often open the boxes of money, food, and other items donated by parishioners during the Christmas season and deliver it to the poor on this day. Another explanation is that the name arose from the old custom of noblemen giving their servants boxes with gifts on this day. Likewise, people who performed public services, such as lamplighters or postal workers, often carried around earthenware boxes on the day after Christmas to receive tips from the people who benefited from their work. Although employees and public workers continue to receive Christmas gifts or money in modern times, the exchange of such gifts often occurs before Christmas.

Some parts of the Bahamas stage elaborate parades on Boxing Day. In Ireland people may mark the occasion by making a type of potato bread known as boxty. For most people, the holiday is used to spend time with family or to rest after the many activities of Christmas.
