___________________________
Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights or Festival of Rededication, is an eight day Jewish holiday that starts on the 25th day of Kislev, which may be in December, late November, or, while very rare in occasion, early January (as was the case for the Hannukkah of 2005–2006). The festival is observed in Jewish homes by the kindling of lights on each of the festival's eight nights, one on the first night, two on the second night and so on.
In Hebrew script, the word Hanukkah is written חנכה or חנוכה. It is most commonly transliterated to English as Hanukkah or Chanukah.

The 25th of the Hebrew calendar Kislev. This year it starts the 15th and ends on the 23rd of december. Being Jewish, AND having a Jewish birthday in december allows me to get double the presents during the holiday season.

The first DAY is Saturday the 16th, but as we all know, Jewish holidays begin the day before at sundown, this case, being the evening of the 15th.
Happy Hanukkah!
