Happy Chanukah, or should I say Hanukkah..?" 'Obama Da Dog'





Chanukah, or Hanukkah?   The Jews are split on the spelling  of the miraculous holiday celebrated because the oil that was intended for one day's light lasted eight days.

The Gentiles don't  have a problem with the spelling of Christmas. How many people spell Christmas, Kristmas? (X-mas doesn't count)

One reason I enjoy being of Jewish faith and heritage is because we are raised to believe there is more than one way to do things, they say, "there is more than one road to Rome." With that said I would like to wish you from the Garden Island of Kaua'i, A very Happy Chanukaua'i and for those who celebrate Christmas a very Mary Kristmas!

For some reason, I prefer the spelling Hanukkah

I like the "Ch" The "Ch" when pronounced right just sounds more Jewish than a simple H, not that there's anything with the simple H. Shall I call you Harmony or Charmony? ;D)
