Bible Seeds: The celebration of Hanukkah and Christmas is coming up this month. Hanukkah starts on December 18th and ends the 26th. Christmas starts four weeks before the 25 of December. It is referred to as the "The Christmas Advent" and is recognized by many Christians as the period of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus on the 25th of December, which is Christmas Day.
I will play for you three verses of a song I wrote titled "Invitation - The Hanukkah - Christmas Song which is on my "It's Christmas CD" and can be downloaded free on my website: carlvasta.com. Each verse comes with an explanation of the Jewish, Christian celebrations and something that is common to both religions.
