[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1870825, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Charlie[/B] - well, my knowledge is limited (as is my wife's facts - she grew up in New Jersey in a very reformed Jewish family; her father, a cardiologist, loved to eat bacon!) - in summary: 1) Name of the 'festival' can be spelled many different ways (see below, edited from Wiki); 2) Starts before Christmas time; 3) Lasts for 8 nights; 4) Celebrates the Maccabean revolt against a remnant of Alexander the Great's empire (the Seleucids); and 5) Our son use to get a small toy or present on each night (he also got Christmas presents). Thanks for your comments and link - have a safe and happy holiday season. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
