Santa Clarita Celebrates Hanukkah
Come sundown on December 24th, many children will be eagerly awaiting Santa Claus’s gifts, ready to open them the following morning. In addition, as night falls, many families will be lighting the first candle on the menorah. This year, Hanukkah begins on the evening of the 24th, and the holiday continues until sundown on January 1st. During the eight-day festival, you can visit your local Santa Clarita Public Library for a special Hanukkah Storytime!
