The 8 days of Chanukah always start on the 25th of Kislev; the first candle being lit on the 24th in the late afternoon.
This year Chanukah starts on Shabbat 12 December 2009. We will light the first flame on Friday afternoon, 11th Dec.
A week later - (Friday afternoon, 18th Dec) we will light all 8 flames for the 8th day of Chanuka.
