  2. "Tip Up" during the holidays!

    'Tis the season to reach a little bit deeper into your pockets and fork over a bigger tip. Etiquette experts say larger than usual tips are expected, and appreciated during the holidays. One person you should tip is your hairstylist or barber. Tip what you can, but an amount equal to the price of your service is appropriate. We spoke with the folks at Cost Cutters On Williamson Road in Roanoke who say the tips won't be taken for granted.

  11. Hanukkah celebrated

    &nbsp;It's the first day and second night of Hanukkah. And, whether at home or in synagogues, those of the Jewish faith are taking time to observe the 8-day holiday in unique and festive ways. There are many customs associated with Hanukkah. From the lighting of the Menorah to food, it's a festive and exciting time. Hanukkah is also known as the Festival of lights.&nbsp; It includes many customs. The word Hanukkah means rededication. In this case, it has to do with a temple that was rededicated in Jerusalem after the Maccabees defeated the Syrian-Greek rulers. We spoke with Rabbi Fabian Werbin of the Beth Israel Synagogue in Roanoke. &ldquo;They needed oil for 8 days and they found a flask of oil. Instead of lasting one day it lasted for 8 days,&rdquo; said Werbin.&nbsp; And that is what eight of the menorah candles represent. Another is used to light them. Hanukkah is a time where traditional dishes take center stage.
