Like most people in the western world, I'm vaguely aware that Hannukah falls roughly at the same time as Christmas (though the precise time varies, given the lunar basis of the Jewish calendar). But I'm never sure when that time is unless reminded, and living as I do in an environment with little public Jewish presence, these reminders are few and far between.
As I've described at afoe, this year the Lubavitcher hasidim set me aright, albeit some days into the holiday. So: a happy Hannukah to T6I's Jewish readers!

Make that "Like most Christians....." You see, Jews are more than vaguely aware of when Hannukah is. Get it, you Christist, sexist bloke?

Indeed they are, Deb. It was my impression, though, that most people in the western world are not Jews.
If you, however, are, then I hope your Hanukkah was a happy one.

You still don't see how Christocentric your original statement was - I'm not going to waste time trying to help you peel off the blinders you've got tattooed, lady.
