Good Energy, L.P.’s Post

It's the most wonderful time of the year. And for once, the most wonderful day. Christmas and Hanukkah are coming. On the same date. This year, Judaism's eight-day Festival of Lights begins at sundown on Sunday, Dec. 25, aka Christmas Day. It's a rarity, the first time that particular holiday conjunction has occurred in almost two decades. For that, you can thank the fact that the two faiths follow different calendars, one based on the sun's travels, the other also incorporating cycles of the moon. Throw in the occasional "Jewish Leap Year" and you get plenty of scheduling oddities, with Hanukkah skittering around like a well-spun dreidel. In just over a century, it's occurred just four times. The first night of Hanukkah last fell on Christmas Day in 2005. Before that, the overlap occurred in 1959 and 1921. It will happen next in 2035 and then not until 2054. All that variation is unsurprising. Hanukkah, which is observed by lighting a menorah, reciting special prayers and eating holiday treats, can occur as early as Thanksgiving or as late as Christmas. Taken from the thread entitled, “Hanukkah starts on Christmas Day this year. How often does that happen?” @ https://lnkd.in/eBeNRm8Y

✨ The European Customer Experience Organization (ECXO) Wishes You a Season of Light and Joy! ✨ To all of you celebrating Christmas 🎄 and Hanukkah 🕎, we extend our warmest wishes for joy, connection, and peace. May these celebrations fill your hearts with light, your homes with laughter, and your paths with hope for a brighter future. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, symbolizing love, compassion, and renewal. It is a time to share kindness, express gratitude, and cherish moments with loved ones. Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, commemorates the miracle of a single day’s oil lasting eight days, symbolizing faith, resilience, and the triumph of light over darkness. Families gather, light the menorah, enjoy traditional foods, and celebrate perseverance. While these holidays stem from different traditions, they share a universal message: ✨ Light, hope, and the importance of coming together. ✨ Let’s carry these values into our lives and businesses—building stronger relationships, fostering collaboration, and spreading positivity wherever we go. 🌟 Wishing you a joyful Christmas and a Hanukkah full of light! 🕯️ 🎄🕎💡 Together, let’s shine even brighter. 💡🕎🎄 #SeasonOfLight , #ChristmasJoy , #HanukkahLights #cx #customerexperience #customerfeedback

Hanukkah is a time for light, joy, and togetherness—but if we’re being honest, it doesn’t always look like the perfectly curated photos we see online. Social media can make it feel like everyone else is celebrating with homemade latkes, perfectly spun dreidels, and eight nights of Pinterest-worthy festivities. But here’s the truth: it’s okay if your Hanukkah isn’t picture-perfect. At the BBYO Center for Adolescent Wellness, we believe the beauty of Hanukkah is in its meaning—finding light in the darkness and celebrating the imperfect moments that make our lives unique. So, whether your candles melt at odd angles or your sufganiyot don’t quite rise, remember: it’s the laughs, the stories, and the connections that make this holiday special. This Hanukkah, let’s embrace the joy of being present, not perfect. How are you keeping the focus on what really matters? Drop your thoughts below! 💬

As the candles of Hanukkah shine bright, may they fill your heart with warmth, hope, and gratitude. Here's to celebrating the miracles, traditions, and the light we bring into the world.  Wishing you a joyous and meaningful Hanukkah, surrounded by love and peace.  #HappyHanukkah #FestivalOfLights #MiraclesOfHanukkah #ChagSameach #HanukkahJoy #LightAndLove #CelebrateTheLight #HanukkahBlessings #Eventweb #myEventWeb

🎆Fireworks are pretty, but they’re also loud. Support of fireworks among Brits is very event dependent, with about 2 in 3 saying it’s acceptable to use fireworks for private displays on Bonfire night (68%) and on New Year’s Eve (65%), while support for other uses is lower including for religious festivals such as Diwali or Eid (48%), celebrations such as weddings or birthdays (43%) and other private gatherings (32%) 👉 https://lnkd.in/gDwHsvwS

🎉 Tomorrow marks the holiday of Christmas and the first night of Hanukkah. The two holidays have much in common with one another as they both have: 👩👩👦👦 Time with family and friends  🥧 Delicious food and treats  🎅 Beautiful music 🎄 Decorations 🕎 Bright lights 🎁 Gift giving They also both celebrate (in different ways) that people were saved. And a little bit of history: the first Christians celebrated both Christmas and Hanukkah! 😮 Another holiday this time of year (which happened about 2 months ago) was the Hindu holiday of Diwali. This beautiful holiday has similar features as Christmas and Hanukkah—family, food, and lights. In fact, Diwali is known as the Hindu Festival of Lights just as Hanukkah is the Jewish Festival of Lights. Collectively around the world, billions of people celebrate these holidays and festivals. Even if you aren’t Christian, Jewish, or Hindu, you most likely see lights, decorations, and celebrations all around you this time of year. 🌟 Whether you celebrate any of these holidays or not, may joy and light fill your life.
