Thanksgivukkah

This Hannukah feels special not only because of where we are celebrating, but also due to the overlap with Thanksgiving. In fact, we learned that it will be more than 75,000 years before Hanukkah again falls on Thanksgiving Thursday: 11/28/79811! 

Thanks to the one synagogue in Genoa we were able to pick up Hanukkah candles, even if Smurf-adorned chocolate coins had to replace the standard gold variety. That was a source of amusement for the girls, but certainly hasn't diminished their enjoyment of the holiday, or the chocolate!
