NEW RELEASE: The LeeVees "How Do You Spell Channukkahh?"

Hannukah. Not only do most gentiles not know what it is (no, Jewish Christmas isn't a good description) they don't even know how to spell it. And to make matters even worse, there's at least two acceptable spellings for it. This video off The LeeVees Hanukkah Rocks album won't clear anything up, but it is pretty cute as it shows a bunch of characters grappling with the myriad of incorrect and correct spellings. --> watch "How Do You Spell Channukkahh?"
