Happy Channukah

[Marge]

To all my fellow Jewish gardeners out there I would like to wish you a very

Happy Channukah

[Shortie]

I'm not Jewish but Happy Chanukah

[Lesley Jay]

I am not Jewish either but to all our members who are Happy Chanukah.

[Mrs Dobby]

I'm not Jewish, but best wishes and compliments of the season to you and your family!

[Digger-07]

I'm not Jewish either but my wife is and the food is great.

[NOG]

I am not Jewish neither is the wife....but I am going for the third spelling at

happy Hanukkah,

[Shortie]

Ooo... did I spell it wrong? I google'd it... oops, sorry if it was wrong , but phonetically yours looks right there NOG

[Lesley Jay]

No Shortie we were both right. Chanukah or Hanukkah. They are Hebrew for dedication. It is a festival of dedication or the festival of lights and lasts for 8 days.

My apologies if I am not quite right.

[Alice]

I'm not Jewish, or anything else. But best wishes for the season, and the year ahead, to Jews, gentiles, those of any religious persuasion, or none.

[Alice]

The festival of lights is very similar to the Hindu festival of Divali (Festival of lights). The significance is the return of light and the triumph of good over evil. We all celebrate it, whatever name we call it, and whatever form the celebration takes. So I just repeat, every best wish to everyone of whatever persuasion, for the return of the light, and the triumph of good. The universal message is Peace on Earth. Will we ever see it.

[Berr]

I wish for the triumph of reason over superstitions and the fanaticisms they breed. And good wishes to all.

It all down to the Romans....They turned over a Temple and smashed up everything the sacred lamp was lit but it there was no oil. In a Temple/ Shul/ synagogue the lamp must stay lit. Now it would take 8 days for the rabbi to make more oil. But the oil in the lamp lasted the 8 days.....Now not wanting to offend anyone but...Strange how all these festivals are at the same time of the year, Christmas, Davali, Hanukkah and the Solstice.

With the first showing of the Great Eacape on Sunday we have been celebrating already we had a good omen with Kellys Heros yesterday...we will keep the festivities till the first showing of Von Ryans Express.

happy holiday if your religious, happy vacation if your not, and blessings to all who dont get a day off!

Talking about films, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without my absolute favourite film "Zulu"! Yep, goodwill to all men! Still, maybe this time the Zulus'll win. Usunu!

[Mrs Dobby]

Lol Berr! I love that film! My Dad used to love it, I remember the first time I got to see it, he put both my brother and I to bed, then half an hour later came and got me up (my brother is 3 years younger than me) and told me to come and watch it with him and my Mum! I was only 10 or so, and it was on late, I got embarrassed seeing the half naked Zulu girls, but the film is soo good that it became a firm fave! Still reminds me of my Dad!
