What does Sameach mean?

 

[cellososweet]

if i could, i would challenge you to a loukoumades eating contest......and it would be the best contest ever.

 

[fisherofmengirly]

I figured it was something like that.

I always think of "eight crazy nights" when I hear mention of Hannukah (this is the way I''ve always seen it spelled).

 

[cellososweet]

oohhhh mimzy, you''d probably win. i make myself sick off of them. haha.

Chanukah sameach to you too, Cello! (And to everyone else, of course!)

I just got home from grad school (after driving for over an hour in the horrible Chicago snow) and wolfed down some delish latkes with sour cream and apple sauce. YUM!

It was so nice to see your post--I''m the only Jewish person in my grad school class AND in my department at work, so it felt so un-festive all day. Lit the candles and said the brachot all alone, too, because it''s too late for me to go anywhere but home.

Happy Chanukah!

Happy Chanukah to you and all others too! I am one night behind already on lighting the candles so I have to go dig out the menorah tonight. We usually have latkes when celebrating with my mom and brother''s family so I can''t wait. I have to learn to make them like she does b/c they are one of my favorite things (with applesauce of course!).
Enjoy the holiday.
