Happy Hanukkah!

Hanukkah begins at sundown tonight, the 25th of Kislev in the Jewish calendar. Maybe I should get a menorah. No real reason that I can’t celebrate the Festival of Lights and the re-dedication of the Temple by Judas Maccabaeus in 164 BCE just because I’m not Jewish. Karyn does. See her posts on Hanukkah or Chanukah or however you want to spell it.

  1. Thanks for linking to my stories about Chanukah! It's not too late for you to get your 44 candles (that's how many you will need for all 8 nights!)
