Happy Hanukkah

Posted on January 9, 2017 by Sandy Collier Posted in Uncategorized .

http://www.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-stock-image-image35794936I will preface that if I offend anyone for my ignorance I apologize in advance –

I was doing some business at my bank recently, right around Christmas.   I was sitting in one of those office/cubicles with one of the Bank Associates.  I noticed he had an opened cardboard box with a Menorah picture on the front of it.  I could see his Menorah on the top of his cubicle with all the lights on except one.  So idiot that I am I said, “Gosh, that’s a drag that one of the light bulbs is burned out, I hate when that happens.” He informed me that there is still one day left of Hanukah.  Just call me  I-D-I-O-T!

Dale knows me too well because as soon as I told him one of the lights was burnt out he knew where this story was going.

    That’s my Sandra who lived right next store to our good friends who were Jewish and after all these years you didn’t know Hanukkah starts at Sundown and they light the Menorah candle one each night for eight days in December this past year it started on the 24th. and this coming year it starts on the 12th. Got to say this made me laugh.

    In your defense, the original menorah was oil fueled, not electric.
