Answer :

answer:We three got gifts every day but only a few big and important one. There was the gelt, the mittens, the socks and a few other boring items. But it was fun to open something each night. For a while, until our Rabbi stopped it, we also celebrated ********* with the huge tree and several traditions. It was secular, of course, and also fun. My younger (by ten years) sister is still resentful of having ********* taken away from her when she was still very young.
