A Menurkey! by @schulmanArt, Miriam Schulman

| What has 8 candles and feathers? A menurkey! |
Hanukkah comes really really early this year... I mean really early. So early, the first night is actually before Thanksgiving! This is so unusual that they say this won't happen again for thousands of years. The Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar with a leap month which is why the Jewish holidays always fall on different days. So I had to do my shopping early this year too. If you celebrate Hanukkah you still have time because really, you have until the last night to give presents.

Anyway, to commemorate this once in a lifetime event, I made a "
menurkey" This Hanukkah decor pictures an adorable turkey with candles in his feathers on a paper mache box. In two of the boxed, the sides are painted in holiday red, the insides are black. In a third Hanukkah box, the outsides have a yellow and blue rustic French country motif to flow with the Thanksgiving traditional colors. A great gift for your Jewish hostess on Thanksgiving since Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving this year! Colorful letters on the box read: Menurkey!

Fill this box with chocolate gelt and you have two gifts in one! This coincidence of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving is a once in a lifetime event and won't happen again for thousands of years! I didn't think my 16 year old daughter would be interested but when I mentioned I might give it to my brother or sister she said she wanted to keep it. So she will be getting either the original, or a print of this Thanksgivingukkah Design. {Want your own

I only made four of these commemorative Thanksgivingukkah boxes and one has already sold! I will be shipping all of these via FAST priority mail shipping, a 2-3 day service. Since I am in New York, this will be two days if you are on the East Coast and 3 if on the West.
