Christmas, Kwanzaa begins its week-long celebration of African history, values, family, community and culture. Here's what to know.

An Albany organization called SOWEGA Rising has planned several events to commemorate Kwanzaa. “Habari Gani. That’s our way of saying what’s the news or greetings in Kwanzaa,” said Sherrell Byrd, Co-founder and Executive director of SOWEGA Rising.

F or the first time since 2005, the first night of Hanukkah will fall on the same day as Christmas. The two winter holidays converge an average of five times a century, according to Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, Executive Vice President of the New York Board of Rabbis.
