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.

Hanukkah is celebrated every year. It was celebrated for the first time one year after the rededication of the Temple by the Maccabees and the miracle of the oil, around 164 BCE (Talmud, Shabbat 21b).
The next time Hanukkah will begin on the evening of December 5 will be in 2053. The last time this has happened was in 1996.
Taken from 2011, the days of the week for the previous 15 Christmas Days were as follows: Wednesday 25th of December 1996 Thursday 25th of December 1997 Friday 25th of December 1998 Saturday 25th of December 1999 Monday 25th of December 2000 Tuesday 25th of December 2001 Wednesday 25th of December 2002 Thursday 25th of December 2003 Saturday 25th of December 2004 Sunday 25th of December 2005 Monday 25th of December 2006 Tuesday 25th of December 2007 Thursday 25th of December 2008 Friday 25th of December 2009 Saturday 25th of December 2010
That would have been December, 1943.
Hanukkah in 2009 started on Saturday, December 12, and the last day was Saturday, December 19. (It actually started Friday night, and ended Saturday Night.)
