This Is What You Should Say to Someone Who Celebrates Hanukkah
Hanukkah isn't technically one of the most significant holidays on the Jewish calendar. But it is certainly a lot of fun, with latkes and jelly donuts galore, the twinkling candlelight of the menorah, and fun Hanukkah gifts to unwrap.
In 2024, Hanukkah happens to fall super late on the Gregorian calendar corresponding with the Hebrew calendar: While it can start as early as November, this year, the eight-night celebration begins on sundown on December 25 and runs straight into the new year, wrapping up on January 2, 2025.
Also known as the Festival of Lights — because it commemorates the miracle of a tiny bit of lamp oil that lasted for eight nights during the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem — Hanukkah is a time for joy and celebration. Read on for 100 ideas for Hanuukah greetings for all who celebrate, whether you're writing a greeting card, sharing on social media, or — best of all — sharing face to face.
