Thanksgivukkah - now here's a cultural event that hasn't happened since, well, never - because Thanksgiving hadn't been invented when Hanukkah fell on the fourth Thursday in November, or was it the last Thursday back then. That would be 1880-something (I've seen a couple of different dates: 1886 and 1888). The next time it's "scheduled" to happen will be, uh - in the year 79043. And, by the way, that's Thanksgivukkah™, thanks to    Dana Gitell (uspto.gov registration # 4379381  and  4371793 )! So... what are you doing for Thanksgivukkah? Eating  latkes topped with cranberry and w atching a little matzohball, perhaps? OY! Questions?
