Yes, Happy Hanukkah.
I always liked Hanukkah because it invovled the <span style="font-weight: bold">Maccabees</span> successfully rebelling against Antiochus.
My last name is <span style="text-decoration: underline">McCabe</span> so the Maccabees always seemed like relatives.
We live next door to a very nice synagogue (where some of our friends attend). The second candle gets lit today.

So you are revolting too?
Indeed, happy Chanukah (Hanukkah)

Spell it as you will. It is a transliteration from Hebrew. There are many versions in English. I use an H to start the word in American English though there are those that use a CH to denote the Hebrew pronunciation which employs a voiceless velar fricative. [CH as in Bach.] 
This sound is actually one of the many varieties of X.

I prefer the spelling Chanukka but the spell checker thinks I am wrong :laugh:
However it is spelled, it is different here since a most people light their menorahs outside (the original custom was to light oil lights outside by the door) or in visible window so that it can be seen outside. In my neighborhood their are lots of buildings which seem to have candles in almost every window.

When do y'all hide the bread, or is that passover?

LOL! Many of my relatives "back in the day" revolted against England by joining the French army and fighting the Brits.
I should be driving Renaults and Citroëns. :laugh:
