Tune in to a happening Hanukkah this winter with 123Christians offering information on Christmas Eve for Kids. Christmas Eve is a time of anticipation, when we begin to gauge the true meaning of the season of festivals. Santa bringing gifts to every child seems to attract every kid's attraction. This once- in- year visit of Santa Claus with endowments is in fact the best part of the Christmas Eve traditions intended solely for kids. In the olden times, St. Nicholas was known for his generosity and for helping the poor.

Kids are so anxious for their gifts on Christmas Eve that they even write letters to Santa all the way to the North Pole days before Christmas to confirm their good behavior throughout the year. Kids hang stockings over their fireplace mantles, which are meant to be stuffed with Christmas bounties. Children also leave a glass of milk and some cookies for St. Nick and his reindeer so both Santa and his pets can have a feast of the cookies as well as the milk.
In certain households of the UK, families gather around the dinner table and play dreidl, sing songs, and eat latkes and sufganiot (high-fat foods thick in oil), to hark back to the Hanukkah miracle in Jerusalem when the menorah burned enough oil for eight days while the temple was purified and rededicated. Thus Christmas Eve becomes the most important time of Christmas celebrations for toddlers who wait anxiously throughout the year for this day. To know more on Christmas Eve for Kids, browse
