It is a tradition for parents to give their children a gift for each night of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. If you have more than one child, this can really add up! Every family has a different tradition on how they give gifts. Some start small and work their way up to a larger gift, while others do the complete opposite. Other families have a theme night, where each child gets a gift to go along with the night’s theme.
