    Have a good weekend everybody.

    In case you didn't know, the Jewish festival of Chanukah (might be easier for most of you to say Hanukah as in Hebrew the "ch" doesn't always make the ch sound as in chimney, and unless you hear it I will never be able to explain it)

    Hanukah is our f"estival of lights" which more often than not coincides with Christmas.

    This year is a Jewish leap year and there is an extra month. The Jewish calendar is based on lunar cycles rather than solar. (that might explain a few of our lunatics lol lol).

    That's why Christmas is out by a month!!
