NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Hanukkah Magic of Nate Gadol’ is a mythical take on the Jewish holiday
Nate Gadol is a spirit with the power to make anything last for as long as it's needed, whether oil, chocolate, or a flower. Gadol's special gift is at the center of The Hanukkah Magic of Nate Gadol, a children's book from author Arthur Levine. Growing up, Levine says, he felt that the Jewish holiday was often eclipsed by the mythology surrounding Christmas, with beloved characters like Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, and Santa Claus. With Nate Gadol, Levine aims to introduce a mythological hero that Jewish people could call their own. In today's episode, we revisit a conversation between Levine and NPR's Scott Simon. They discuss the backstory behind Hanukkah presents and the many forms Jewish families take today.

Consider This from NPR - What makes a true Christmas movie?
What makes a movie a Christmas movie?
When the movie Die Hard was released on Blu Ray a few years back, the studio called it "the greatest Christmas story ever told!"
It does take place at an office Christmas party, but is that fact enough to make it a Christmas movie?
What about "Elf," "It's a Wonderful Life" or "Eyes Wide Shut" are those Christmas movies? Yes, right? NPR producer Marc Rivers says, "not so fast."
Just what makes any Christmas movie a true Christmas movie?
