- [All] You plus me makes the power of we,
build a better world for you and me,
let's stand up for up for what is right,
listen, act, unite!
(all laugh)
- Oh, hi.
You're just in time for the Power of We holiday party.
- Yeah, we're all getting together to celebrate.
- It's a special time
of year with lots of holidays and celebrations,
so we're learning how each of us celebrates with our family.
- I feel so excited!
Charlie was just about to share how she celebrates.
- My family and I celebrate Hanukkah.
It's an eight-day festival of lights.
- You celebrate for eight days?
- Yeah.
We light candles for each night of Hanukkah,
on a special candle holder called a menorah.
I get to help my mom light the candles.
We sing songs, and wish everyone a happy Hanukkah.
Happy Hanukkah!
- [Others] Happy Hanukkah!
- That's amazing, Charlie.
We light candles for our holiday too.
Tamir and I celebrate Kwanzaa with our family.
- Yep, it's a seven-day celebration
of our African-American culture and history.
- We decorate our house with art,
colorful cloth, and fresh fruit.
Each night, when we light a candle
on a special candle holder called the kinara,
we talk about one of the principles of Kwanzaa.
- Yeah, the principles of Kwanzaa help us
to continue to come together
as a family and community, like umoja, which means unity.
- Hey, we're celebrating unity right now by coming together
and learning how our friends celebrate the holidays.
(giggles)
Elmo, how do you celebrate?
- Oh, well, Elmo celebrates Christmas.
During Christmas, Elmo spends time with his family,
decorating the Christmas tree and singing songs.
- Oh, Elmo, I celebrate Christmas too,
and I love giving gifts to my friends and family,
oh, like, let me show you, like these drawings that I made
for my mami, my papi, and my abuela, see?
- They're going to love it, Rosita.
- Oh, gracias, Charlie.
Yeah, I celebrate Christmas,
and also, another holiday called Dia de los Reyes,
Three Kings' Day, and we make lots of food,
like my abuela's Rosca de Reyes.
Mmm, Three Kings' Bread.
That is delicious.
- Ooh, I want to try Three Kings' Bread.
My grandma and I cook together too.
You'll have to try our sweet potato pie.
- Oh, and Elmo's Christmas cookies.
- And my family's potato latkes.
- Oh, it looks like we found something
all of our holidays have in common, lots of yummy food.
- [All] Yeah.
- I had so much fun learning about everyone's holidays.
There is so much to celebrate this year.
- Merry Christmas, everyone!
- Happy Three Kings' Day!
- Happy Hanukkah!
- [Both] Happy Kwanzaa!
(Elmo giggles)
- No matter what you celebrate with your families this year,
happy holiday from all your friends on Sesame Street!
- Happy holidays, everyone! - Bye!
