Suspected Truth.

Hanukkah is Hebrew short-hand for "You're going to burn our house down with those candles (again)."*

* - Anecdotal data. We were at a Rabbi's house and watched as the shamash candle self-ejected from it's holder and landed on the carpet. An exciting time was then had by all in attendance.

@mmiasma But did the carpet burn for eight days?

😆 😆 😆

We edited the original story down to fit in the available time slot so I believe our version ran for 8 seconds but it did feature a lot of shouting and conflicting directions. And of course the fact that we didn't burn the house down, was judged a miracle.

So there's that.
