While I am not Jewish, nor is my husband, I am very interested in other religious celebrations, especially the Hebrew holy days. Hanukkah is not the highest festival in the Jewish year (that would be Yom Kippur). But Hanukkah and Christmas are very near each other and so we group them in the winter holidays.
