A massive Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to everyone!
This year the start of Hanukkah lines up nicely with Christmas (starting on sundown, Christmas Day) -- so I'm taking off the 24th and 25th (in honor of Christmas -- and to prepare of Hanukkah). Regular Lunduke Journal Shenanigans (tm) will resume on Thursday, December 26th.
I love the years when Hanukkah and Christmas are at roughly the same time. Because the Jewish year is on a lunar calendar -- sometimes that means Hanukkah starts as early as the end of November. Hanukkah right after Thanksgiving? Still a lot of fun, but not ideal.
For me, Hanukkah starting at sundown on Christmas Day is just perfect. Lets each holiday shine and compliment each other.
Also: A huge thank you to everyone who has subscribed or donated to The Lunduke Journal this month. Because of you we have almost accomplished our funding goal... for next month. We're sitting around 80% or so. How sweet is that?
That is one heck of a fantastic holiday gift for me -- as it means I may not need to worry about running any promotions or fundraising during the entire month of January.
Less time worrying about boring business stuff, more time doing the fun Tech reporting I love. A great way to go into Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years.
If anyone feels like pushing us over the line (zero pressure)... I'm keeping the Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscription available through the 26th. If you want one (for yourself or as a gift), feel free to snag one. They're awesome.
Either way, you rule. Enjoy whichever holiday you celebrate.
Eat something yummy. Do something nerdy. You deserve it.
