Just back from a long weekend in Phattalung. Karn spent the weekend taking wedding invitations to relatives while I stayed at the house. It was quite relaxing there (for me anyway, less so for Karn!) the only issue for me being the limited internet access - which is obviously a problem for an internet based business! AIS had extremely poor internet, True was quite a lot better but still very slow, DTAC was by far the best but still only about the same speed as dial-up.

I have attached a picture of the wall of the house in the evening. Gecko central! One other thing I saw that I have never seen before was a firefly. As I was sitting on the porch this slowly flashing white light floated by, most people reading this have probably seen many of them before but I thought it was well cool 

Hugs Thailand wishes HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the worlds longest serving monarch, a very happy birthday, with many more to come.

Let’s celebrate His Majesty’s birthday!

For the first time since 1888, the first day of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving will overlap. Experts say that might not happen again until 79,811.

So, how did two holidays fall on the same date?

To celebrate the very rare “Thanksgivukkah,” people have created T-shirts, cards, songs and even a combination of the menorah and turkey – the “menurkey.”

Hanukkah always falls on the same date on the Hebrew calendar – the 25th day of the month of Kislev, a lesser Jewish festival, it lasts eight days and commemorates the rededication of the Temple in 165 BC by the Maccabees after its desecration by the Syrians. It is marked by the successive kindling of eight lights.

“Judaism is on a lunar/solar calendar, so the months are determined according to the phases of the lunar calendar and the years by the sun,” said Dr. Bill McDonough, professor of theology at St. Catherine University.

In the standard calendar, based on the sun, Nov. 28 is the earliest Hanukkah can be.

“It’s kind of bizarre,” said Wendy Kaufman of St. Louis Park. “You have to get your gifts mailed a lot earlier.”

Thanksgiving is always on the fourth Thursday of November. President Franklin Roosevelt moved it there from the last Thursday in November during the Great Depression because he thought it would be good for the economy.

Jonathan Mizrahi, a Jewish-American physicist interested in this topic calculated the next time this Thankgivukkah phenomenon would happen. And it’s in 77,798 years. That long time span is because the Jewish calendar is drifting apart from the solar calendar.

Hanukkah always starts at sundown before the first day of the holiday. Mathematicians have found Hanukkah Eve will fall on Thanksgiving in 2070 and 2165, so people will light their first candles on Thanksgiving in those years.

I hope all our American friends have a great time "Happy Thanksgiving" to you all 

As a small (but growing) company this is something Hugs Thailand has to consider everyday...
