- Outside, it's really cold and windy and dark.
You do not want to be out there, if you're a person, or an animal, or a plant, or whatever you are.
But inside the home of Albert Einstein, it's a totally warm, bright, just-right night of... - (all): Hanukkah!
- Hanukkah's this really special winter holiday that my pal Al celebrates.
- Mmm-hmm!
Every year since I was a little boy.
- This year, Al invited Cat and me to celebrate with him, and to bring friends.
So we told our number-one ninja girl Aki... - I came all the way from Japan!
- ...our space alien pal Richard... - I came all the way from the Purple Planet!
- We even got Ramone!
- I've never celebrated Hanukkah before!
- None of us have!
So let the Hanukkah celebrating begin, Al!
Al?
- Hm.
Mm-hm.
Yes.
- So I know you're like this world famous scientist who's always having genius ideas for equations, but can't you give it a rest on Hanukkah?
- Oh, Peg.
Ho!
Ha!
Ha!
I'm not writing equations.
You see... ♫To keep things very simple♫ ♫So you won't have any doubt♫ ♫I'm writing down the number♫ ♫That Hanukkah's all about♫ - (others): The number eight!
-♫Hanukkah O Hanukkah♫ ♫It's time to celebrate♫ ♫Hanukkah O Hanukkah - It's starting♫ - Awesome!
- Great!
-♫Hanukkah goes on-ukkah so many days straight♫ ♫One two three, four five six, seven eight♫ - One holiday for eight days?
- It's like a holiday-day-day- day-day-day-day-day!
- What's this object, Peg's genius friend Al?
- A special candle holder called a menorah.
And you can call me just Al.
- Thanks, Peg's genius friend Just Al!
- What's a menorah for-a?
-♫Eight nights in a row♫ ♫It holds the candles that we light♫ -♫First night, one Second night, two♫ - Third night, three?
-♫That's right♫ -♫Fourth fifth sixth seventh - Now's the eighth and final night♫ ♫When all eight candles burn at once♫ ♫They glow so bright♫ -♫One two three - Four five six♫ -♫Seven eight♫
