Celebrate Hanukkah 2012 , It's not as compromised as Xmas but...

[Guest Peeves]

it's getting there because of it's proximity to Xmas. Nothing of the sort of course. However lighting a candle or candles to celebrate is far better than living under the yoke of dictators.

It's a minor Jewish holiday at best. The only one that celebrates a military victory.

Still it does have its traditions and supernatural beliefs.

Hanukkah (also spelled Chanukah), meaning "dedication" in Hebrew, refers to the joyous eight-day celebration during which Jews commemorate the victory of the Macabees over the armies of Syria in 165 B.C.E. and the subsequent liberation and "re-dedication" of the Temple in Jerusalem. The modern home celebration of Hanukkah centers around the lighting of the chanukiyah, a special menorah for Hanukkah; unique foods, latkes and jelly doughnuts; and special songs and games.

Anyway, http://urj.org/holid...anukah/menorah/

On Saturday evening 8th, (after nightfall) light one candle on your menorah.

I have a light bulb that should have burned out years ago but it's still going strong. When it eventually dies I will construct a chandelier with an LED bulb for each year of light this miracle bulb has provided. I will light it to celebrate my victory over General Electric. I will then gather with friends and family, eat a great feast of barbecued meats, drink beer, play ceremonial games of poker and we will tell exaggerated stories of times when we used to be good at stuff.
