Just checked: Chanukah 2016 begins

[elleng]

December 24, and ends New Years Day!

Some 'planning' to do. Looks like I'll be in NJ with daughter and grands for a while!

1. We are going to DisneyWorld

For a family reunion.

I think I will have all 7 children, most of the 35 grandchildren, and most of the 20 (? lost count) great grand children there.

I think the think I am going to croak on them.

2. Oh GEE!

4. This will sound bad...

...that means great deals on gifts and a later mailing time!!! When Chanukah is later in December it is so much better for me because I get everything out on time, when it is earlier, most people don't get their gifts until Xmas or later!

5. Gee, thanks

For fulfilling our people's stereotype.

LOL. (I agree, BTW. Retail is for suckers.)

6. It's also good for those of us

with kids in schools where they are the only (or one of the few) Jewish kids. I hate it when Chanukah is super early (remember that one year it started on Thanksgiving???) because then the kids have to go through everyone else getting Xmas.
