DEAR FREE CHOICE E-ZINE READERS:
We are within an unique calendar arrangement this year.
On one hand, we are in the midst of Thanksgiving, that time of year when one should pause to count their blessings for all the good things they have in life.
Yet on the other hand, at sunset last night, Hanukkah began. The annual festival of light where what was supposed to be just enough oil for one lone night actually lasted eight!
Some are calling this event Thanksgivukkah. The last time this happened was in 1888! While there will be several more occurrences of the two holidays sharing a weekend, the next occurrence of the events sharing one 24 hour period will not be for over another 77,000 years, on Thursday November 28, in the year 79811!
So, regardless of which (or both) you observe, take care of yourselves and try to enjoy life to the fullest!
