In 2011, the first night of Hanukkah starts at sundown on Tuesday, December 20, 2011 which is approximately 4:20 pm and one day off the shortest day of the year (aka the winter solstice).. The last night of Hannukah (or Chanukah) 2011 is sundown on Tuesday, December 27, 2011. If the Laplanders have 100 words for snow, there are exactly eight spellings of Hanukkah, which seems fitting because the festival of lights lasts eight daysa nd this year the 5th day is also Christmas Day.. truly Chrismukkah.
Growing up there were so many songs for Christmas and just a few traditional BORING songs for Hanukkah. It is ironic that the quinetessential Christmas songs "I am dreaming of a White Christmas" was written by Irving Berlin and Sammy Cahn wrote "Let it snow, let it snow". But it took the son of a schmata (garment center) guy to write the first contemporary Hanukah song.
Hansel & Dreidel (pronounce draydel); Mr. Leonesio at his quirky best as he mixes a potent concoction of honey, wheat absolute, sandalwood, and musk. Imagine your breakfast cereal is in mating season and you’ll have an idea of what this smells like. Very animalic and the wheat, honey and sandalwood add contrast to the musk. No gin and tonic-a or notes of marijaun-ica.
