what do jews celebrate instead of christmas

As a Jew, I would say that the holiday of Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is the Jewish equivalent of Christmas. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration that commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Jews were victorious over the Greeks. Hanukkah is a time of joy, family, and tradition, with the lighting of the menorah, eating latkes, and exchanging gifts. It is a special time of year for Jews to come together and celebrate their heritage and faith.
