			<description><![CDATA[ A very happy Channukah to everyone here.
<br>
<br>
As many of you already know, Channukah is a holiday that celebrates religious freedom.
<br>
<br>
Light the candles away! Kids seems to like the holiday and although we also celebrate Christmas (coming soon!) this one is a favourite of theirs.
<br>
<br>
Loads of food laughter and drink. What else could one want?
