Confessions and Hanukkah Final Night...

[phyncke]

So, dear readers, I have a confession to make. Tonight as I came home, tired, not feeling well and not in the mood to clean up the menorah to do the Hanukkah thing, I considered posting last year's picture and just "passing that off" as this year's final night. I confess this but I assure you that all of this year's piccies have been authentically done this year and I have stayed true to the real-time "Hanukkah experience 2009". While it would have been easier, it would not have been right, and I wound up really enjoying the final candles tonight and so I share my last picture with you tonight. Always honest and these pics have all been taken this year. Thanks for looking this year and I hope you have enjoyed it with me.




I was always confused about the many ways to spell Hanukkah. I have seen it spelled as follows:

Hanukah
Hannukah
Hanukkah
Chanukah
Channukkah

It is a phonetic spelling of the hebrew. Here is an image with the hebrew word in it. You read the word from right to left (the opposite to how you read english):

Happy weekend all and thank you for sharing this holiday with me.
