hanukkah for shure. Hope it's helps. Here is some hanukkah story:
Hanukkah
Hanukkah is the annual Jewish festival celebrated on eight successive days beginning on the 25th day of Kislev, the third month of the Jewish calendar, corresponding, approximately, to December in the Gregorian calendar. It is also known as the Festival of Lights, Feast of Dedication, and Feast of the Maccabees, Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem by Judas Maccabee in 165 BC after the Temple had been profaned by Antiochus IV Epiphanes, king of Syria and overlord of Palestine.

lots of people spell it many differnet ways but the most popular one on how to spell is Hanukkah heres something i found: In Hebrew, the word Hanukkah is written ×× Ö»×× or ×× ×××. It is most commonly transliterated to English as Chanukah or Hanukkah, the latter because the sound represented by "CH" (as in "loch") does not exist in the English language.

This is like that Peking vs. Beijing thing, I think, where someone got the idea to spell it like the "native language" does...and apparently there is no letter "H" in the Hebrew written language, but there is a character for "CH".....that's my two cents....

I don't know
I'm like 1/8 or 1/4 Jewish and people are trying to hide that from me I think.
I'm proud of it and interested.
Why?
I'm curious and NOT ashamed of it.

The right one is either Chanukah or Hanukkah. Either way is fine.
If you don't believe me, you might want to check back and go to www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah

it comes from a Hebrew word so it doesn't have a "proper" spelling in english, which is why so many variations are still accepted.
