Most people don't go to church on Christmas where I live either. Do you cook turkey?

Yes, we have turkey... everything except the little sausages in bacon, in fact. Crackers, presents, a tree... it's a lovely time of year.

In return I would encourage everyone to celebrate Hanukkah too! Eight nights of presents... what's not to love?

I have never known those sausages to be a tradition until I spent Christmas in London in 2012.

I would love to celebrate Hanukkah, it's getting other people to celebrate it too that is the hard bit.

Really? I'm surprised, I thought it was more wide-spread than England. Wonder if Scotland have them? But I don't eat pork as you know.

You need to push the "eight nights of presents" and steer clear of the religious connections!

One of my best friends growing up was Jewish so I spent Hanukkah with her family and she spent Christmas with mine.....December was just a big present fest
