First Place My favorite holiday that I celebrate is Hanukkah. A Jewish game we play during Hanukkah is dreidel. Everyone playing gets into a circle and puts gelt (chocolate) in the middle.

When a spin lands on "shin," one piece of gelt must be ...

I like to fall in the snow and make snow angels. But most ...
