It all started with a little boy. He had wrapped his present of old-fashioned hard candy with care and placed a bow on top with a piece of notebook paper. In the handwriting of a child it read, “I know I don’t know you but this gift is for you. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please share this with all your friends.” The lesson: that Christmas is not just about waiting for presents to arrive. The gift went to Laurene Trostel, 56, of Twin Falls, who said the boy first flashed her a smile when she entered Costco in her wheelchair on Dec. 16. Later, Trostel said, she felt a small tap on her shoulder. “He laid the gift-wrapped package on my lap and said it was for me,”Trostel said.

By Akilah Bolden-Monifa McClatchy Tribune
After a holiday celebration recently at school, my 7- year-old son came home confusing Hanukkah with Kwanzaa. So for my son and anyone else who has ever mixed the two up, here are the top seven similarities and differences:
Although they both use candles, Kwanzaa lasts seven days while 1 Hanukkah lasts eight. In Hanukkah the light from the candles is significant; in Kwanzaa so are the red, black and green colors of the candles.
Hanukkah is steeped in the Jewish religion, whereas Kwanzaa does not 2 have a religious base and is spiritual in nature.
Kwanzaa is always from Dec. 26 through Jan. 1. Hanukkah starts on 3 the 25th of the Jewish month of Kislev, which can occur from late November to late December on the secular calendar.
Kwanzaa has been celebrated for 44 years, Hanukkah for more 4 than 2,000. There are variant spellings of both: Kwanzaa or Kwanza; Chanukkah or 5 Hanukah or Hanukkah. Both are celebrated by folks not in the culture. Non-Jews celebrate 6 Hanukkah and non-African- Americans celebrate Kwanzaa. Not all Jews celebrate Hanukkah and not all African- Americans celebrate Kwanzaa.
In Hebrew, the word “Hanukkah” means “dedication.”Kwanzaa is 7 Swahili and means “first fruits.” Hanukkah celebrates faith and resistance against oppression.
