Chappy Chanukah from December 15th – 23rd!

That’s right, the festival of lights is here, mofos!

I know what you’re thinking. “Is it the 25th day of Kislev already?” You’re damn right it is! So bust out your menorahs and dreidels and let’s start commemorating the Miracle of the Oil!

I know what you’re also thinking. “Chanukah? Isn’t it Hanukkah?” Well, actually the most accurate transliteration from Hebrew script to Roman alphabet is Chanukah. Only thing is, in Hebrew it’s pronounced with an ‘H’ sound and not the traditional English ‘Ch’(ocolate) sound. So, as I’m sure you’ve guessed, English speakers decided to just go ahead and cut that ‘C’ off of there. And then throw in another ‘k’. Just because. Confusing, I know. That’s why I try to keep it real and just call it חנוכה.

Chappy חנוכה everybody!
