Hanukkah comes out on Kislev the 25th, which is a date on the Hebrew calendar. I've never seen it come out outside of December, but it "moves around" in the month of December because the January - December calendar is solar and the Hebrew calendar is lunar, so they don't work together completely. This year it came out early, and ended about a week before Christmas.

Hannukah is over for the Gregorian calendar year 2007; it began on the evening of December 4th, and ran through December 12th. Next year, it will fall on the 22nd of December 2008 through the 29th, which means that the first candles will be lighted on the evening of the 21st, since the Jewish calendar's day begins at sunset. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for next year.
