An extremely rare convergence this year of Thanksgiving and the start of Hanukkah has created a frenzy of Talmudic proportions.
There's the number crunching: The last time it happened was 1888, or at least the last time since Thanksgiving was declared a federal holiday by President Lincoln, and the next time may have Jews lighting their candles from spaceships 79,043 years from now, by one calculation.

Might have to stick our Hannukkah candles in our turkey this year!
That’s okay, just make sure they’re kosher.................
When was Messiah conceived?
A Jewish friend of mine said all Jewish holidays are the same theme:
They tried to kill us all. We won. Let’s eat!.................
I’ll be home for this one. Might miss the next one.
Which one?..................
Don’t be so sure.....................
Totally! :-D
On a side note. I just tried to got to Newsbusters.org and Google has relinked to Google.com
LOL
Now working from the information about John's conception late in the third month, Sivan, and advancing six months, we arrive late in the 9th month of Kislev (Nov-Dec) for the time frame for the conception of Jesus. It is notable here that the first day of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is celebrated on the 25th day of Kislev, and Jesus is called the light of the world (John 8:12, 9:5, 12:46). This does not appear to be a mere coincidence.

A VERY special Thanksgiving this year indeed! :)
Shortened to “Let’s eat” by the Baptists. For any reason at all.
Your friend didn’t know Rosh Hashonna, Yom Kippur, Simchat Torah or T’ish Abab - just a few that come to mind that are not about victory over an enemy.
I think he was just trying to be funny...............he was a very funny person..................
I guess you had to be there.
Thanks for the ping, I was too busy teaching kindergarten on the other thread :o)
