Happy Chanukah!

Happy Chanukah to all who care. It is coming way too early this year. I have part of ashfae's gift, and that's about all. No clue what to get for the parents. I'm just glad I was able to find the box that had my menorah in it, plus some leftover candles from previous years, since I didn't have the presence of mind to buy any.

In the meantime, I heard an amusing parody of Outkast's "Hey, Yeah" that was Chanukah themed. It was thoroughly entertaining to hear a Chanukah song that isn't by Adam Sandler (those were good the first hundred times or so) or that stupid dreidel song.

I have lit my candles. May they join with the other festivals of light to beat back the darkness of winter and cease the shortening of days.

Edit: If you would like to know the story of Chanukah, go read today's Something Positive. This has to be one of the funniest versions I've seen.

Chanukah started the evening of December 7, so December 8 is the first day. Confusing, isn't it? It helps when half the calendars get it wrong too.

Ooh, BNL has Chanukah songs? Must find...
