Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanzaa, or whatever else you celebrate! Go out there and have a wonderful holiday!

Happy Holidays!

P.S. I probably spelled Hannukah wrong. =P

Well, duh, you're not Jewish. I called up my resident Jew (well, not resident seeing as she doesn't live with me, she's just a friend) and found out it's spelled Chanukah. The "Ch" is used because the "H" doesn't quite get across that wonderful Yiddish noise in the back of the throat that's just like clearing your throat (and thereby the reason that it's the best language evar). The second 'n' isn't used because the 'n' sound isn't supposed to be present at end of the first syllable (it's only supposed to be present at the start of the second).

Techniqually I guess that's correct but really *Chanukah* is how it is spelled in Hebrew the english word for it is Hanukkah. Hebrew is a throaty language like you said both words sound they same when said but are different when it comes to spelling.
