Families and relatives of Israeli hostages held in Gaza lit the first candle of Hanukkah on Wednesday, marking the start of the second such holiday without their loved ones, according to a statement from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum Headquarters.

For the first time since 2005, the first night of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah falls on Christmas Day. And some families across North Texas will be celebrating both holidays at the same time this year.

Wednesday is Christmas, but for the first time since 2005, it's also the first night of Hanukkah, making it a special day for interfaith families who celebrate both holidays.
