What Happened When We Celebrated Both Christmas and Chanukkah & What I Learned  @LivingWithEve

In this video, I share a personal holiday reflection on Christmas and Hanukkah and why, as a believer, I chose to celebrate both holidays this year. Our family usually just celebrates Hanukkah, but this season God placed it on my heart to also celebrate Christmasβ€”and in this video, I explain why these two holidays truly go hand in hand.

This is an honest, joyful, and heartfelt reflection on the meaning of Christmas, Hanukkah, Yeshua (Jesus), light, redemption, and faith, and why I believe all Christians can celebrate both without compromising their beliefs. I talk openly about my journey, my faith, and my appreciation for both holidays this season.
