In case you’re not sure, my title for this year’s Hanukah post doesn’t come from the Bible. It comes from something equally sacred, though — a press release from the Galleria.
Sacred? Well, this is the season for shopping, isn’t it? And in case you’re not sure and haven’t see any of my annual I Hate Chanukah posts, Hanukkah isn’t my favorite holiday.
Chanukah begins each year on the 25th of Kislev. That can fall anytime between the last week in November and the end of December.
The Hebrew calendar is kind of fucked but it works. It’s a lunar calendar. It takes 28½ days for the moon to circle the earth so one month is 28 days and the next is 29 on the Hebrew calendar.
