You're gold turbo, you can chat anytime, but I was planning to open Thanksgiving chat. There is already a group in there.turbo said:I was kind of hoping that there would be an impromptu chat today. My wife is eating her T-day meal with my nephew and his partner, a couple of hours away from here. I am not alone, because I have my dogs, but they don't talk much.
Lol Om. We are going to have Thanksgiving at a Jewish friend's home. I'm sure that he's heard everything else about Thanksfivukkah but I'll bet he hasn't heard that one. He makes a great smoked turkey each year. Now to find some candles... :tongue:OmCheeto said:I'm going to have to research this. Or does someone know off the top of their head, how many candles should be in my Menurcky today?
"Happy Thanksgivukkah" is a term used to celebrate the coincidence of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah occurring on the same day. This rare event has only happened a handful of times in history and will not occur again for another 77,000 years.
The overlap of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah depends on the dates of the two holidays, which are determined by different calendars. This means that the occurrence of Thanksgivukkah is not on a regular schedule and can range from a few years to thousands of years apart.
Thanksgivukkah is significant because it combines two major holidays from different cultures and religions into one celebration. It also highlights the diversity and inclusivity of American society.
People celebrate Thanksgivukkah by incorporating elements of both Thanksgiving and Hanukkah into their celebrations. This could include having a traditional Thanksgiving meal with latkes (potato pancakes) or incorporating Thanksgiving-themed decorations into Hanukkah traditions.
While Thanksgivukkah is not an officially recognized holiday, it has gained popularity and recognition among many individuals and communities. Some even argue that it should be recognized as a national holiday due to its significance and cultural significance.
