Thanksgiving and Hanukkah rarely occur on the same date, but one such overlap is November 28, 2013. The day was dubbed “Thanksgivukkah” (or, less frequently, “Thanksgivukah”). “Thanksgivukkah” became popular on Twitter since November 2012.
 
One Thanksgivukkah product is the “menurkey” (menorah + turkey).
 
   
Wikipedia: Hanukkah
Hanukkah (/ˈhɑːnəkə/ hah-nə-kə; Hebrew: חֲנֻכָּה, Tiberian: Ḥănukkāh, usually spelled חנוכה, pronounced [χanuˈka] in Modern Hebrew; a transliteration also romanized as Chanukah, Chanukkah or Chanuka), also known as the Festival of Lights and Feast of Dedication, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Greeks of the 2nd century BC. Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar.
 
The festival is observed by the kindling of the lights of a unique candelabrum, the nine-branched Menorah or Hanukiah, one additional light on each night of the holiday, progressing to eight on the final night.

In 2013, on November 28, Hanukkah and the American holiday of Thanksgiving will coincide for only the second time since Thanksgiving was declared a national holiday by President Abraham Lincoln. The last time was 1888, and the next time will be in the year 79,043. This convergence has prompted the creation of the portmanteau neologism Thanksgivukkah.
 
Wikipedia: Thanksgivukkah
Thanksgivukkah is a portmanteau neologism given to the convergence of the American holiday of Thanksgiving and the first day of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah on Thursday, November 28, 2013. It is a result of a rare kink between the lunar Hebrew calendar and the Gregorian calendar. Because the calendars are not calculated the same way, Chanukah appears at a different time each year on the Gregorian calendar.
 
History
The last time it happened since Thanksgiving was declared a U.S. federal holiday by President Abraham Lincoln was in 1888. The next time will be 79,043 years from 2013, by one calculation. The phrase was coined by Boston-area resident Dana Gitell who, along with her sister-in-law, created a Facebook page and a Twitter account devoted to the phenomenon.

We’re still 24 hours away from Thanksgiving 2012, but it’s never too early to start thinking of next year, right? Apparently not, at least, not for the folks behind Thanksgivukkah. You see, next year Thanksgiving falls on the first night of Hanukkah, and well, “Thanksgiving” + “Hanukkah” = “Thanksgivukkah”. Get it?
 
Tricky stuff, I know.
