Christmas stocking are a symbol of Christmas.

According to tradition, Saint Nicholas put gold
coins in the stockings of three poor sisters. One
night, the girls left their stockings drying over the
fireplace. Saint Nicholas knew the family was
very poor, so he threw three bags of gold coins
down the chimney. The money landed in the
sisters' stockings.

The menorah is a special candelabrum with 9

candles. Each day an additional candle is lit. The
ninth candle is called a shamash. This candle is
generally in the middle and set higher from the
other 8 candles to separate it from the rest. It is
the only candle that is supposed to be used for
light.
