With snow in the forecast, temperatures dropping, and people
digging out their mittens and hats, it's officially December! Enjoy a
holiday pick each day before Christmas.

Sometimes it's hard to remember this time of year is not all about Christmas. Hanukkah is celebrated also, and this picture book is a great choice for families that celebrate both traditions. Sadie is a mixture of two traditions, Daddy Christmas and Hanukkah Mama. This book joyfully describes how her family decorates for the holidays, sings songs, and cooks and bakes, while incorporating both of Mom and Dad's traditions into their planning. The whole family gets together for a meal and to exchange presents, and talk about the meaning and significance of Christmas and Hanukkah. What family traditions will you celebrate this year?
