Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish friends. I miss the latkes and jelly doughnuts my roommates received for the holiday at college. [Their grandmothers were afraid they wouldn’t celebrate or couldn’t get “real” food at that terrible Baptist university.] It was a great break.
One of the nice things about Hanukkah is that there are established “gifts”, so you don’t have to rack your brains about what to get: a card and gelt covers just about everyone.
General background at Wikipedia’s entry for Hanukkah and even more at Chabad’s Chanukah page.
[Note: on the Jewish calendar the day changes at sundown, not midnight.]
