It depends on the year, since the Hebrew calendar is shorter than the normal Gregorian calendar. In the Hebrew calendar, Hanukkah starts on Kislev 25 and ends on Tevet 2 (or Tevet 3 if Kislev is short.) This year, Hanukkah begins in the evening of Saturday, December 8, and ends in the evening of Sunday, December 16.
Hanukkah 2008 occurred from sunset Sunday December 21st, until the evening of Monday, December 29th, 2008. The dates are according to the Hebrew calendar and are not the same each year according to the civil (Gregorian) dates.
Nothing causes the Mayan calendar to end it is just the end of one cycle and the start of another one. Much the same as the new year in the Gregorian calendar. It's just a longer cycle.
There is no special ending for the celebration of Hanukkah.
They Start in.....
2011: December 21-29First candle lighting was on the evening of the 20th. The last was on the evening of the 28th.
Hanukkah always starts on the Hebrew calendar date of 25 Kislev, and lasts for eight days. The Hebrew calendar does not line up with the western calendar because it has a completely different leap year system that can shift holidays each year by to 11-28 days. Here are the coinciding secular dates for the upcoming years. The candle lightings begin on the evening BEFORE the first date: 2011: December 20-28 2012: December 8-16 2013: November 27-December 5 2014: December 16-24 2015: December 6-14

This is a variable number. You need to state a start and/or end date or time.
Both 1999 and 2010 calendars start on Friday and end on Friday.
Only time will tell. Perhaps it truly is a prediction of the end of time . Or perhaps it is like the modern Julian calendar-- December 31st is the last day and you simply start a new calendar
The calendar that predicts the end of the world is they Mayan Aztec calendar. The calendar ends at the date of December 26 2012. But just to inform you the world IS NOT going to end.
This year (2011) the first candle was lit on Dec. 20. The eighth and last night of Hanukkah candlelighting will be on Dec. 27.
