A Chanukah Tip for my Goyishe Friends!

Tonight's the first night of Chanukah, so be sure to post your Chanukah wishes tonight, rather than on December 24th or 25th.

I got confused and thought it was last night after a post from [livejournal.com profile] yasminke...who is in Australia :-)

But Lauren studied it at school today and set me right.

"Goyishe"?

You know, I was SURE it started tonight at sundown, and [livejournal.com profile] yasminke's post confused me, too. It's so easy to get time zone-confused when it's not just an hour or two, but, like, practically a whole day.

My brother calls on Christmas Eve and it's nearly Boxing day for him; it's most peculiar!

Yep, goyishe!

Thank you!

I was going to wait until Dec. 11. Would that be wrong too?

*blinks* Why December 11th?

Isn't that the last day? Or does it not work like Ramadan, for which the last day is a BIG deal.

I don't think the last day is anything terribly special. In my experience, anyway.
