Darrin and Hanukkah

"Hey, what do you want for Christmas?" Darrin asked Rebekkah, his clam classmate. "You celebrate Christmas, but I don't," she told him. "Huh?" Darrin asked. "I celebrate Hanukkah, the festival of lights," she explained. "My mom told me Jewish people do that," Darrin announced. "Yes," Rebekkah nodded. "Why lights?" Darrin scrunched up his face. "We light the menorah, a bunch of candles, every night," She said. "From January to December?" He asked. "No, it starts at different times every year!" "Ohh," Darrin breathed out. "One thing is the same, though..." Rebekkah notified him. "What?" Darrin asked smiling. "Presents!" Rebekkah laughed. So did Darrin.
