Best wishes to those who begin lighting menorahs tonight! If you want an online one, this is nice; or if you want to learn about Chanukah, click here for kveller.com.

If you’re counting down to Christmas, NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) has a countdown site as well as a page for tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve Night.

England’s Liverpool Museum posted a nice advent calendar — each day features an item in their collection that they link to the season!

During the last week of the year, many will celebrate Kwanzaa. There’s a nice video of the history of the holiday, here on the History Channel’s website.

Any other websites you like for holiday information or fun? Add them in the Comments, and we’ll check them out and share them if they look good!
