Holiday Surprise #55
This anthology issue contains holiday-themed stories and activities. One story depicts the historical account of Hanukkah, describing how the Jewish people, led by Judah Maccabee and his brothers, defeated the Syrians and reclaimed their temple, where a holy lamp miraculously burned for eight days—inspiring the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah. The issue also features a puzzle game titled "The Right Stocking!!" in which readers must help three children named Nina, Anthony, and Danny find the paths to their filled stockings.
