When was the last time Hanukkah started on Christmas day?

I can't remember the last time Hanukkah was so late it would still be rockin' after New Year's Day. Just out of curiosity, anyone know when the first day of Hanukkah last coincided with Christmas? Did anything really bad happen, like cats and dogs living together? Bad omens?

1. My ex-gf said it was about 35 years ago

But I don't know the exact date. You need to find one of those calendar whiz idiot savant kids. :D

I remember it happening in the 80's too... when I was in high school or college. It isn't that rare.
