what do jewish celebrate instead of christmas

Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah, which is an eight-day festival that commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire. Hanukkah is a time of religious observance and celebration that involves lighting candles, giving gifts, and eating special foods like latkes (fried potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts). Hanukkah is a joyous holiday that celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and the restoration of Jewish sovereignty.
