It’s a busy holiday season this week, with Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa all taking place within days of each other.

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.

With the Jewish Festival of Lights happening while Indiana University students are on break, the celebration was at the courthouse for the first time.

It's a rare year where Christmas coincides with the first day of Hannukah. Chabad of Nebraska celebrated by lighting a Cornhusker menorah.

ROCHESTER – For the first night of Hanukkah, a Rochester high school graduate returned to his hometown from Israel to light the menorah.
