    You can just say it usually falls out on Chaukah and then continue your speech.

    I think I figured it out. When First Day Rosh HaShanah falls out on Shabat and Rosh Chodesh Kislev is one day, then Chanukah will start on Friday and Parshat Miketz will be read on the Shabat following the end of Chanukah.

    Chas veSholom that vaYeshev & Mikketz would be ever be switched around.

    What is correct however is that Thursday & Friday of week of Mikketz is always Chanukah, and Mikketz is only Parsha that is never read on a Thursday morning.

    The only 2 Parshios that are never read exactly 4 times in any given year are Mikketz & vaYelech. Mikketz because that Thursday is always Chanukah, and that Monday only comes out before Chanukah if Rosh haShonoh had fallen out on Thursday.

    vaYelech, when Rosh haShono is Thursday or Shabbos is joined with Nitzovim. When Rosh haShono is Monday, vaYelech is omitted on that Monday morning. When Rosh haShono is Tuesday, vaYelech is omitted on that Thursday morning Tzom Gedaliah.
