When Rachel visits her father’s family who celebrates Christmas, she brings along her menorah to share Hanukkah with them too. But when she realizes she forgot the menorah on the plane, her Nonna makes her a very special menorah.

The book shows how a loving grandmother and extended family welcome and encourage two holiday traditions.

From Simone's list on celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah.
