Chappy Chanukah!
Thank you for getting us here to this season in one piece. Now I hope I survive the next eight days with a hyperventilating gift-anticipating small boy.

2. Yes, eight crazy nights
can be quite a challenge.

My strategy is to see what the rest of the family got, then hit the stores and fill in. This year I can also take advantage of after Christmas sales, too.

6. Thank GOD! Someone who finally knows how to spell!
People keep trying to freaking correct me when I spell it Chanukah. It's so aggravating when I'm smarter than people and they don't realize it. :evilgrin:

7. Transliterating
chet, the first letter in Chanukah, is particularly tricky since it has no direct parallel in English. I tend to prefer Hanukkah since the 'Ch' confuses people into thinking it's ch as in Charlie. (I ran into this just the other day at the office.)

Exhibit A: Chet
