You waited so very long for this

This very special night

Your friends have also been waiting

Saving their money 

To  enjoy their friends

Crying out with joy

You wait for something else

For you comes the dreidel

The menorah and gelt too

You and your friends have different celebrations

And they never break this friendship

They bring you closer

This sharing of religion

It only happens once every year

These holidays, both very near and dear

This crisscross of Hanukkah and Christmas
