Tonight is the 8th and final night of Chanukah. How fitting it was when I was looking at my Google Reader and saw a post all about how to spell the Festival of Lights. On the GoodyBlog today there was a post called "How Do You Spell Channukkahh?" – all about this dilemma.
Growing up I always spelling it Hanukkah. This was probably because most of the items you could purchase for the holiday spelled it that way. Then I met and married JL. He had a strong preference for Chanukah. . . so I not only agreed to have a Kosher kitchen for him, but also switched my spelling of the holiday too (just kidding). Do I really care – no not really. In fact I think more non-Jewish people are worried about the spelling than those of us that celebrate the Festival of Lights.
In additon to posting other website references about the spelling of Hanukkah/Chanukah, the GoodyBlog also had the following You Tube video. Since I thought it was cute I am also going to share it with everyone.
Enjoy and Happy last night of Chanukah to all of my Jewish friends!

Kmelion: Thanks for the link to the website. I went there briefly yesterday, but have not had much time with sick JSL and the snow. I may e-mail you for pointers on things there.
mod*mom: I can not wait to see my cool new Puj Go Sling. I definitely could have used this at my son’s Chanukah party. The little guy is just too heavy to hold and the sling would have been perfect.
