Do Karaites keep Purim and Hanukah?

Ojerinde - are you a Karaite? or speaking from ethnographic knowledge?
or just a Y!A busybody? Can you provide a citation?

There have been some Karaites posting here lately -- I'd realy like to hear from you on this one.

Anyone who can provide citations to more "definitive" sources - I'd apreciate it.

I know they celebrate Purim but I believe they claim Chanukah is "simply Talmudic" and therefore reject it. I have never been to any Karaite service or celebration so I am unsure what their Purim celebrations consist of but I know they celebrate it.

EDIT
I put a link to an article about Karaites not celebrating Chanukah and a link to a Karaite page with pictures from their Purim celebration.
Not sure where the Karaites are. They have been on here giving "Karaite answers" for a few weeks, at least.
