Happy Chanukkah חֲנֻכָּה (Hanukkah) My Hebrew/Jewish Friends, Family & Viewers

Hannakkah is December 21st. Did I miss something?

@Lisasnovel2011 You must have: Hanukkah began in the evening of Tuesday, December 20, 2011, and ends in the evening of Wednesday, December 28, 2011. It changes each year. I am Jewish by birth but I am a terrible Jew since I have been in more Churches than any temples I ever visited. I got word of the holiday and just wanted to send my wishes to those who celebrate it. I almost missed it was the festival of lights when I kept saying the Jewish New Year LOL

@LosingDrea ok Help me out then cuz my calendar says Hanakkah is dec. 21st.

[Lisasnovel2011]

@LosingDrea I got me some Star of David napkins and some Hanakkah decorations in my bathroom.

@Lisasnovel2011 I love the stars and that beautiful blue color. My mom usually lights her menorah but she forgot to last night unless her calendar is the same one you have, but look it up on Google and its the 20th is the 1st night for this year. Someone made a mistake somewhere LOL

[Lisasnovel2011]

@LosingDrea Oh well no worries! lol. I will get a new calendar and see what it says lol.

[LosingDrea]

@Lisasnovel2011 Okay, well let me know what you find out when you do. As it is for me I would think tonight is the 2nd night and 3 candles should be lit on the menorah and we must be out of candles because my mom has not lit even 1!

@LosingDrea I just noticed my calendar has 3 *** which has a footnote that says that all Jewish holidays begin at sundown the day before. ;-)

[LosingDrea]

@Lisasnovel2011 Makes sense LOL though I believed that sundown on the 21st this year is what it said on where I found it from when I Googled it. Still confused, which is why I love to celebrate Christmas, easier to remember the dates since they occur on the same days every year no matter what! =)

@LosingDrea Ha! :-)
