When is Hanukkah this year ?

Back in 2000 Hanukkah was on at the same time as that Pagan festival. So I went to Gateshead and the Jewish quarter and bought some Hanukkah cards and sent them out.

I studied all about it, including the fact it is actually mentioned in the New Testament in passing.

According to the Apocrypha, when the Maccabees over threw their oppressors and went to cleanse the temple, they only found enough oil to light the sacred lamp for one day, yet it would take 8 days to get more. By a Miracle the sacred lamp shone for 8 days on one day's worth of Oil

I found it more attractive as a festival, with the concepts of spiritual cleansing and renewal, than what that other festival has become.

Unfortunately I do not have a Menorah to remember each day of the festival.

I hope you are being a very good girl now Amy cos you know Santa is watching you :hugesmile::hugesmile::hugesmile:

Who invited Scrooge to the thread LOL :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Amy I think Kaz has been spending too much time with Sticks lately:hugesmile:lol

Much as I enjoyed Sticks' company at the TiBB reunion, I can assure you that we haven't met in person since. Must be telepathy, eh Sticks? :laugh:

What that it's christmas soon :laugh: :love: :laugh:

GUESS WHAT - I was sorting out the cupboard under the stairs last night and what did I come across - those flipping presents I bought for last year and lost!!!!:elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant:

Well at least I dont have to buy so many this year :devil::devil:

Now where shall I hide them so I dont lose them this time? Any ideas :conf::conf::conf:

About time you found them.....

What about at in your wardrobe so you'll know where they are when christmas comes in 94 days :laugh:

I think your wardrobe is the best place to hide them aswell BusyBee:thumbs:
mine always used to be hidden there:bored: and every christmas morning I would have to pretend I knew nothing about them:blush::blush:
I'm also the best person for guessing what's in them aswell:spin:so wrapping them was no use I still knew what I was getting
:blush:
but shhhh don't tell Santa or else he won't come this year:shocked:

I've heard a rumour that he's not coming to your house this year anyway :shocked: it's only a rumour though :laugh: :devil: :laugh:

Oh no don't say that Amy:bawling::bawling:
I've been a very good girl this year and I've put my Santa stop here sign out already so he can't miss me out:laugh::laugh::laugh:
I don't think you'll be getting what you want though this year.Not after last year.Dermot is still sneezing after he was forced down your chimney last year and he's still getting over the embarrassment after you asked him to get in your stocking:shocked::shocked::laugh::laugh::laugh:

:laugh: Santa has told me no Dermot this year after the stocking incident :laugh: :bawling: :laugh: Poor me.... Perhaps i'll just go and grab Dermot whilst he's not looking :rolleyes: :laugh:

Well Amy you can always go and visit Dermot dressed as the Christmas fairy to grant his every wish :blush::devil:

As for Rachb she is definitely on Santa's list this year after all the VCD copying she has been doing for me and for all her hard work (along with moi in the planning of THE wedding of the year - oops sorry it was supposed to be a secret, but we have been working really hard on getting everything right - Wedding Planners Are Us)

Sorry ......
