Xmas in other countries or religions

Hanukkah:
This celebration is in December. The use of the light in this celebration is in memory of a legend, the celebration lasts eight days, igniting every night a light in a lamp (hanukiyá) that contains eight spaces plus one to help, until in the eighth night they appear all illuminated. The lamp has to be placed in a visible place, near a window or in front of the door, to indicate the people with this light there is a Jewish home.
China:
Christmas in China are celebrated illuminating the houses with paper lanterns and decorated trees called “Trees of Lights”, with chains and flowers . The Chinese children hang socks and wait for the visit of Santa Claus to whom they call Dun Che Lao Ren what means “old man of Christmas”.
