Speaking of marking your calendars, have you noticed Thanksgivukkah is coming?

Hanukkah And Thanksgiving Fall On The Same Day This Year — The Next Time It Will Happen Will Be In 77,798 Years

The Jewish festival of lights and the American festival of thanks and gluttony will overlap this year — and the next time it will happen will be in the year 79811.

Jewish mothers across the country have been circulating a mass email lifted from this January blog post by Jonathan Mizrahi explaining "Thanksgivukkah," but here's the gist.

Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November. This year Thanksgiving is on November 28th, which happens to be the first day of Hanukkah (the first "night" of Hanukkah is the night before).

As it happens, November 28th is the latest Thanksgiving can be and the earliest Hanukkah can be.

Here are some interesting suggestions for combining the two holidays food-wise: How To Celebrate Thanksgivukkah, The Best Holiday Of All Time

As it so happens, I have been invited to the home of a Jewish friend for Thanksgiving, so I'm excited to see how we'll celebrate. Each Chanukah I usually make latkes (both potato and cheese). In fact, I wasn't able to last year due to my ankle fracture, but did so when I was finally up and moving in January. :) We'll see how Thanksgivukkah plays out this year.
