More Info:

It’s Chanukah, but 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, but you are in luck because the hares will be entertaining you with eight crazy shots instead to keep you warm in the winter weather and celebrate this very misunderstood holiday.
