In 2010, Hanukkah begins at sundown on Wednesday, December 1. This festival continues for 8 days, carrying on through Thursday, December 9. It is in celebration of one day's worth of pure oil miraculously burning for eight days until more pure oil was brought (during the purification of the temple after the Maccabees drove out the Greek-Syrians from Judea). One menorrah candle is lit each night: ideally the menorrah should be placed in a window in order to "publicize the miracle".
The common color scheme for Hanukkah decorations is blue and white.
