In the East European shtetl, the winter holiday of Khanike was a time of liberation (no "cheyder" for the kids) and creativity. Looking at the traditions across a broad territory in Yiddishland we will survey Khanike songs, annual customs, foodways and folk beliefs. The unusual interaction with the Christian in the shtetl  at this time is also to be covered.
