1. Not sure about the UK; I live in the US. 2. Israel 3. Not positive - probably not as celebrated as much as in other parts of the world since Hanukah actually is a pretty small holiday of Judaism. 4. Mostly in December. It can start in November and end in January sometimes but normally it's all in December. It's at a different time each year. It goes on for 8 days. 5. Latkes (potato pancakes) 6. Games: dreidel - played with gelt (chocolate coins). Rituals: light a candle each night while saying a prayer, use a menorah to hold all candles. 7. Try Wikipedia ;)
