Hanukkah is celebrated for eight days, starting on the Hebrew date of 25 Kislev. The sixth day of Hanukkah always occurs on a new moon. None of the days of Hanukkah occur on a full moon.
It is sometimes on the 2nd of Tevet, and sometimes the 3rd of Tevet, depending on the year.
Hanukkah can start on any day of the week except Tuesday.
Hanukkah always starts on the Hebrew calendar date of 25 Kislev
Hanukkah starts with the lighting of a special candle holder called a Chanukiah (Hanukkah-menorah).
They never happen at the same time. The latest Diwal can start is mid November. The absolute earliest date Hanukkah can start is the last few days of november, but 90% of the time, it starts in December. A calendar of Diwali dates shows that it won't even be close to Hanukkah (with two weeks of each other) for at least the next 50 years.
The eighth day of Chanukah ends at sunset on the 8th day after the 25th of Kislev. This year, that date corresponded to Saturday, December 19, 2009. The Gregorian date changes each year.
Hanukkah starts on different days, but it almost always starts in December (or the last few days of November). Hanukkah is always on the 25th of Kislev, which is on the Jewish calendar. Because this calendar uses a different leap year system, it doesn't line up with the western calendar.
