Tonight at sundown begins a festive Jewish holiday Hanukkah. Hanukkah is an 8 day a festival of lights that is celebrated by lighting of the menorah. You can read the whole Hanukkah story here but in summary, Hanukkah celebrates a lighting miracle when one night's worth of oil lit candles for 8 days. Special food and games are prepared and played on Hanukkah. Perhaps the most famous game is the Hanukkah Dreidel. Which is a four-sided, wooden or plastic spinning top with a Hebrew letter on each side. The letters on the dreidel stand for the Hebrew phrase "Nes Gadol Haya Sham." Which means "A great miracle happened there [in Israel]." Children use it to play a game that involves spinning the dreidel and betting on which Hebrew letter will be showing when the dreidel stops spinning. The winner usually recieves chocolate coins. One of the most popular dishes to serve on Hanukkah are potato pancakes called Latkas. The recipe is below: Ingredients: * 5 potatoes * 2 onions * 3 eggs * 1 tsp. salt * 1/4 tsp. pepper * between 1/4 to 3/4 cup all-purpose flour * oil for frying (canola is recommended) Preparation: 1. Peel potatoes. Place in a bowl of cold water so they won’t turn brown. 2. When ready to prepare the latkas, drain the potatoes. Place potatoes and onions in a food processor fitted with a knife blade. Pulse until smooth. Drain mixture well. 3. Pour potato mixture into a large bowl. Add beaten eggs. Add salt and pepper. Add enough flour so that the mixture holds together. 4. Pour 1 inch of oil into a large, deep frying pan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. 5. Carefully drop 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the hot oil. 6. Flatten the pancake slightly so the center will cook. 7. Fry for several minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. 8. Drain on paper towels. For all those that celebrate this wonderful holiday, Happy Hanukkah! :) Adam Sandler’s Happy Hanukkah Chanukah Song: Bringing mood to Happy Hanukkah 2009 is Adam Sandler singing to his own composition of a Hanukkah song entitled the Chanukah. A flood of replays from his performance of singing the Chanukah is becoming a hit as more people are also looking for the Chanukah song lyrics. As said by some critics about Adam Sandler’s music, “The Hanukkah Song,” is a hilarious roll call of Jewish actors and actresses that remains a favorite of holiday partygoers everywhere. The song is undeniably a favorite song of the Happy Hanukkah season.

May G-d bless you with a joyous Festival of Lights!
Happy Chanukah to all
Is that really you Palo Verde? Welcome.
I haven't been around because I have been formatting my second book for publication
I grew up in the San Fernando VAlley of LA. All my Jewish friends had Hanukkah Bushes and Hanukkah Lights on their houses. LOL.
----------------------------------------------------------- Oh Annie, it's good to see you here, I was wondering what kept ya! I know your book is going to be a hit, can't wait to read it myself. Happy Chanukah!!
Hi sweetie pie
Did you see today's LP update? Goldie is even updating the software! http://www.freewebs.com/lpstatus/ Liberty Post offline due to our hosting provider shutting down. We have selected a new service provider and are in the process of moving LP. We are also using this opportunity to provide LP with long-needed software updates. Please be patient, and more information will be posted here as it becomes available.
----------------------------------------------------------- Hi cookie
Goldie is even updating the software! Yes I did, thank you WS, I even posted the UPDATE earlier. I like it here, but I miss LP too....so we have two pretty good sites to post! jmo!
PS Happy Chanukah to you too, sweetie
Well, if you're anything like me, you have plenty at home to keep you busy. My daughter is a big help with the g-kids, so I get to post more now, mostly late evenings, or early mornings..depends. I like sleeping days, and staying up at night, I'm a night person anyway. It's so good to see you, I have missed you!
that is what I have been hearing from others in email
That's right, works for me, and I think stone likes it too...&;-)
The nights have been way too cold to sit in front of open window to post
Palo! Happy Birthday Jesus! Merry Christmas everyone!
Palo, so glad you have made it hear too. Happy HANNUKAH to you too!
Palo! You have a PM!
Muffin! You have PMS!!
Hi Mel
LOL I know you're not Goldi from LP
You are one smart lady! &;-)
lol I aint smart I lurked on the other thread
it was nice seeing so many familiar names there looks like so many are here now Good! also posters I was friends with on other forums good! Love, Palo It is good to see so many familiar names, if you can sort the real ones from the imposters...lol! Anyway, I think I'll call it a night, it's been a long day, I just finished watching another great old movie and I'm very tired. Have a peaceful sleep, and sweet dreams Annie. Here's hoping Sally gets LP back up soon! Good Night!
Sweet dreams darling and thank you for your warm welcome
Glad to see that you have made it here, Palo!
Hi sweetie pie
altho I think I am the only one who celebrates it :) Palo, sweetie, 12/21 is considered the first day of winter - it is the winter solstice - it is the new year. I think you transposed your numbers. And you are not the only one who celebrates. Many people of science celebrate it as their new year too. As do others who celebrate the winter solstice. It is also the day the Mayan calendar ends on in 2012 and said to be our last day on Earth. 122112 Peace darling! mel
Word of the DayMonday, December 14, 2009 Happy Chanukah Palo!
Thank you very much darling
Hi wonderful Mel
Oh - I see. Thank you. 12/21 is Winter Solstice - The first day of winter - And when the new year is said to actually begin. It is the shortest day of the year. It is celebrated in many places, even Phoenix has celebrations. Some even believe the 21st to be the day Jesus was born, and the 25 is what the Romans call Winter Solstice. So whether it be the 12th or the 21st or the 25th, I say Happy Birthday Jesus!
Word of the DayMonday, December 14, 2009 I like the Winter Solstice because by that time I am really ready for more daylight
Not quite early enough though! I do not like the cold. It is much cooler where I live than where you live. I like it in the summertime.

I like sleeping days, and staying up at night, I'm a night person anyway.
I have been under the covers watching TV instead
I have the cheapest cable line-up, no extras
because choice is limited, I have watched all kinds of things I never imagined I'd watch
they took away the old movie channel
so I have been watching some unusual reality shows
but some of them are very touching
Love, Palo
#16. To: Palo Verde (#2)
How wonderful it is to see you!

That is so sweet of you
I wish you Happy Chanukah and Merry Christmas
and a wonderful year in 2010
All my love, Palo

12/12 is the New Age Holy Day, because they say that is the day Jesus was actually born
However you are right Winter Solstice 2012 is when the Mayans prophesied the arrival of the new world
As I understand it, that is like the due date doctor gives expectant mom
just as babies are born little earlier or little later
the new world, heaven on earth, could arrive earlier
As I understand it, it will mean the Reversal of the Fall (in Garden of Eden)
hahaha we will see what it is like to live on our planet before we fell
I imagine that must mean a higher consciousness, as the fall was fall to lower consciousness

Tucson summers are too hot, or maybe they just go on too long
but I prefer heat to cold, I don't ever want to live in the North again
