    Happy Chanukah everyone

    Well I'm an evening late but Happy Chanukah, or if you are into the PC spell check version Happy Hanukkah.

    Based on how it's written in Hebrew, Chanukah is correct. Problem is, most Americans have difficulty pronouncing the sound "ch" is supposed to represent. Even my wife, who is pretty good with languages, can't do it.

      A happy "Festival Of Lights" to all who celebrate it. Pronouncing the "ch" is like pronouncing the "ch" in "Achmed"...Jeff Dunham's suicide bomber. The way he spells the name is...A...(flem)...med.

        And do all of you have your Chanukah bushes all decorated, and waithing for Chanukah Harry?

          Oh wow, Bruce, Chanukah Harry!? That's too good but aren't you afraid of the backlash from the Chanukah fairy?

              Of course, a Happy Chanukah to those who celebrate it. I know Bruce celebrates more than one holiday season in December. Could the food have anything to do with it?

                Yup, it definitely is the food, nothing beats Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls and a Spiral Cut Ham. But not at the same meal.

                I also like finding presents under the tree on X-mas day. Even if they're the wrong size or color.
