On FB the signs from yesterday's blog were being discussed and

Russell. Interesting about this kind of dog:
Special birthday today... Shelly Broadman, husband of the infamous JCRW
past President Ruth. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELLY!
Historically this date.....
...... Ok, let me explain.... yesterday's blog contained things that
happened today in history, not yesterday. Also the births listed were for 12-12.
So, to make up for that faux pas today I will list historical happenings for
yesterday 12-11 and births for yesterday 12-11. Groan....
1941 – World War
II: Germany and Italy declare war on the United
States, following the Americans' declaration of war on
Japan in the wake of the attack
on Pearl Harbor. The United States, in turn, declares
war on Germany and Italy.
And births this date include............. (remember it's for
12-11)
Gawd, she was a beauty! Whoppen??
How about a quick easy breakfast to serve to the gang.....

Hanukkah
Tonight at sundown marks the beginning of the eight-day Jewish
celebration of Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights!
Hanukkah starts on a different day each year according to the Western
calendar, but it always begins on the 25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar. The
word “Hanukkah” means dedication or induction, and the holiday signifies the
rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabees revolted
against Alexander, Antiochus IV and his persecution of the Jews.
According to the Talmud, at the time of the rededication there was only
enough oil left to burn the eternal flame in the temple for one day. It lasted
for eight days—just the amount of time needed to make a fresh supply of oil.
Hence, it is tradition at Hanukkah to light a candle on the menorah for each of
the eight nights of Hanukkah.
Celebrate Hanukkah by lighting candles at nightfall, playing dreidel,
sending a free Hanukkah
eCard, or eating some delicious potato latkes! Happy
Hanukkah!
