Would someone be kind enough to describe Hannekuh?  I think it's started, but we don't always get the straight information.

You could start with how it is spelled.

It's a serious question, and I would be most grateful.

Thank you.

If there are other holidays now that I'm ignorant about, please contribute what you can.

I am "ignorant" about all of them.

I think some have other days of the year.

There are two spellings:  Hanukkah and Chanukah

Chanukah is an eight day holiday which begins on the 25th day of the month of Kislev. It marks the miraculous victory of the Jews, led by the Maccabees, against Greek persecution and religious oppression. In addition to being victorious in war, another miracle occurred: When the Maccabees came to rededicate the Temple, they found only one flask of oil with which to light the Menorah. This small flask lasted for eight days. In order to commemorate this miracle, we light a Menorah for the eight days of Chanukah.

P.S.  Eight days of presents sure did beat Christmas!  We celebrated both when I was a kid.
