celebrate all the holidays, but in my mom's family, that is Christmas eve, and it might be 
hard to get into chat (KEWL YULE, btw, all!), and I haven't a clue what the Jewish faiths 
due for Sundays (isn't Saturday the Sabbath??) but it is during Hannuka (SP?) which I 
finally learned what that is this week (yeah!) in a conscious effort to be more multi-
religion intelligent!

If I undersand you correctly, you're asking whether sunday is a Sabbath day for Jews - it 
isn't, saturday is. Regarding sunday falling on Hanukka, it makes no real difference since 
Hanukka is not a "religious" holiday at all. Meaning, that unlike saturday you can work and 
do everything else as usual. 
BTW, It might come as a surprise to non-Jewish Americans, but Hanukka is not an important 
holiday at all, really. Its been made a lot of bc of its (completely coincidental) nearness 
to Christmas.
