[HANASHIR:16251] Re: CHAG SAMEAKH!!!

[QuelliPG <QuelliPG...>]

the most "correct" greeting for Chanukah is actually chag urim sameach (happy 
festival of lights) - yes, chag sameach is reserved for the 3 pilgrimage 
festivals - sukkot, pesach and shavuot, specifically the first and last days, 
which are yom tov.   during chol hamo-ed (the intermediate days), it is 
customary 
to say "moadim l'simcha".
"chanukah sameach" is fine for chanukah too... just means happy chanukah!   
and since someone is bound to ask this question in a couple of months, the 
traditional greeting for Purim is "simchat purim".
