ARGH

Here I was all excited about it FINALLY being Hanukkah and being able to celebrate it properly with DCS…and the day is FINALLY upon us.

And then in my research I come across the problem with Shabbat- not being able to light a fire after sundown on Friday until sundown on Saturday. From what I know, this means you should light the Hanukkah candles BEFORE sunset on those particular days.

Unfortunately, I won’t get home until AFTER sunset and definitely into nightfall tonight. Should I just tell my partner to go ahead tonight without me or break the Shabbat?

Considering how many other traditions we’re not completely following (like the fact that I’m not a Jew, where we’ve placed the menorah’s, etc) I’d enjoy performing the ritual with him rather than follow Shabbat.

But is Shabbat stronger than Hanukkah? Advice?

Shabbat is stronger than Hanukkah. Hanukkah is a minor holiday -- no work prohibition, etc. -- so Shabbat would always trump it.

Yule is the winter solistace celebrated by the Heathen Norse and the like. The reason that Christmas came about in the first place.

Yuletide greetings.

Glaedelig Jule!!!!!!!
