Gobble Tov?

Quote:
An extremely rare convergence this year of Thanksgiving and the start of Hanukkah has created a frenzy of Talmudic proportions.
There's the number crunching: The last time it happened was 1888, or at least the last time since Thanksgiving was declared a federal holiday by President Lincoln, and the next time may have Jews lighting their candles from spaceships 79,043 years from now, by one calculation.

Since 1863, Thanksgiving and the first full day of Hanukkah on the Gregorian calendar have not overlapped.
Strange numbers!
