Chappy Channukah? Hanukka? Chanukah? Hanaka?

Is there anything better than a holiday one has to EXPLAIN?
YES! A holiday that most of your friends don't know how to SPELL!
And, hey, it's not anyone's fault. Just take a look around at how many different ways there are out there that this holiday can be misspelled....

• Chanuka
• Chanukah
• Chanukkah
• Channukah
• Hanukah
• Hannukah
• Hanukkah
• Hanuka
• Hanukka
• Hanaka
• Haneka
• Hanika
• Khanukkah

Personally, I prefer the 'less is more' approach ... if there's an opportunity to double a letter I just don't. I find it very green. Saves time, energy and ink! And you can recycle those unused letters in other more needy and deserving words. And who doesn't like to be a little more charitable at the holidays, right?
Now, there is one way to never, ever spell this beautiful holiday wrongly:

Very frugal, concise, not even bothering with vowels. Now, THAT's my kind of holiday! It lives up to the beauty and simplicity of the story of the reconsecration of the temple with a jar of oil only big enough for one day that miraculously lasted for eight days. Nice, right?

Well, dear dedicated readers, we are in the midst of this year's celebration of the Festival of Lights and I want to wish you all every bit of beauty and peace of this and all holiday seasons.

My Best,
