Once upon a time, the Jews were running low on oil to light their lamps. They really didn't want to spend money on any additional oil. They put the remnants of their oil in the lamp, and the lamp stayed lit for 8 days, and even 8 nights.
The Jews celebrate this moment of thrift each year, calling this festival "Hannukah".
A "Hannukah bowl" is a bowl that lasts much longer than initially anticipated.
Additionally, fuck you Natasha.

Get the Hanuel mug.An obnoxious, petty, self-centered jewbitch who thinks the world revolves around her. She's often seen during December in malls near jewish-money towns like Cherry Hill, NJ. The hanukkunt is known for insulting anyone who refuses to kiss her feet or trim the corns off her toes, or generally bow down to her superiority complex.
Commonly starts sentences with the whiny voice uttering the phrase "Owww my Gawwwd, this is turrubul..."

Clerk: That'll be $48.12 for your purchase today.
Hanukkunt: Oww my Gawwwd, this is turrubul. Why do you people charge so much money. What's wrong with you people?? You should deliver this to my house for that price. You should be ashamed.
Clerk (under her breath): What a hanukkunt.

Get the Haaniya mug.Hokay, so. There was the regular set-up, right, with the opressive dictators and the valiant underdogs. So the valiant underdogs, the Maccabees (if that sounds familiar, there's a soccer club by that name) go and valiantly retake the Jewish Holy Temple (this was before it got detsroyed {again}). And to symbolise their success, after they clean it up and wipe the graffitti off the walls, they have to light the Menorah, big candlabra style thing. Only they have enough oil for ONE day, and it'll take eight for extra oil to arrive. But God intervenes, as per usual, and miraculously the one little jar of oil lasts eight days. This is probably because the little jar of oil was an underdog.
On Hannukka (or Hanuka, Hanukah, Chanuka, Chanukka, Channukka, etc - only holiday in the world nobody can agree on how to spell) all the Jews celebrate the miraculous Miracle by lighting a Hannukkia (like a Menorah, only with eight branch thingies) and giving all the kids bushels of presents. Also chocolate happens.

Get the Hanukah mug.A very misunderstood holiday...Hanukkah takes place on the 25th of Kislev, the 3rd month on the Jewish calendar. Kislev used to be 100% synonymous with December, but, whereas the modern calendar is solar, the Jewish calendar, like the Old Roman calendar, is lunar. This is why Hanukkah is on different dates in December throughout the years.
In 168 BCE, on the 25th of Kislev, Antiochus Epiphanes, King of Syria and overlord of Israel, desecrated the Jewish Temple by setting up a statue of Zeus inside, and sacrificing a swine to Zeus. Many Jews were forced to worship the Greek deities, or else be killed. MattithYah Maccabee, and his son Yahudah led a rebellion, and within 3 years regained control of Jerusalem. On the 25th of Kislev, 165 BCE, the Maccabees purified the Temple, and re-dedicated it to the service of Yahweh.

The Purification/Dedication ritual took eight days. There was only enough oil to light the Menorah for 1 day, but, miraculously, it lasted for 8 days. In rememberance of this, the household menorah is lit for eight days, and fried foods, especially pastries, are eaten.
But, Hanukkah is really about religious freedom.
The books of Maccabees are the story of Hanukkah. You can find these in the CATHOLIC versions of the Christian Bible. For some reason, these are not included in Protestant versions.
