Hope everyone is having a great Hannukah! I know my house is just about the only one on the block not glowing with Christmas lights.
It's actually spelled several ways, "Chanukah" being one, "Hanukah" another. A belated happy Hannukah, OP.
It's actually transliterated from Hebrew, so the spelling is phonetically spelled out and there is technically no "correct" spelling other than the actual Hebrew: "×—× ×•×›×”". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannukah#Alternative_spellings_based_on_transliterating_Hebrew_letters
