Hannukah, Chanukkah, Hanukka, Chanuka...

So I'm really excited because this weekend I will be celebrating Hannukah with a friend from school and her family. I've always been interested in different celebrations and holidays, but i've never taken part in any other than my own; Christian holidays. I think it'll be really cool to observe the different traditions and the games and foods and such. And really, I have very little knowledge on Jewish culture and Hannukah. All I know is there is a menorah and a dreidel and you win chocolate money. So it'll be really cool to see legit aspects of this holiday. I'll keep ya updated.
