The Menorah is boxed with the Christmas/Solstice decorations that we're not taking down this year - it was a topsy turvy December and I have to head out and drive to Dallas right after Christmas to take care of some business there for two months.

I am, however, looking forward to wearing my President Barack Obama "I'm Dreaming of a White Kwanzaa" cap as I drive across Texas.

Weeeee haaaaaah!!!!

What about festivus?

 

[tinselwolverine]

Do you mean Festivus as in "a Festivus for the rest of us?"

We celebrate Festivus in a more original way.

Instead of doing the traditional Festivus thing, with the litany of grievances and the feats of strength and the whole bit...

we just go to a department store, and when we see someone pulling the last of its kind off the shelves, we stand there and reign down blows upon them in an attempt to take it from them, just like Papa Castanza did as he came up with the concept....

Manhattan is brilliant as is Annie Hall. Mazel Tov!

U2 ML!

As for the non-Jewish crowd willing to partake in some fashion, instead of thinking of Chanukah as simply lighting a menorah, it is tradition to eat fried foods, most specifically latkes (fried creamy potato) and jelly doughnuts...but pretty much any fried food will do. So, if you don't have official latkes just throw in some tater tots or hash browns...that will work, and most people enjoy that! Also you could eat chocolate, preferably in the form of a coin but since you aren't Jewish just grab a bar of your fav chocolate and wish everyone a Happy Chanukah as you take a bite! And while it is no where close to being a Jewish tradition, I like to put Blue Curacao (plus additional spirits, but to each their own) in my egg nog for a celebratory Happy Chanukah nog as it makes for a festive blue and white mix as I make homemade nog that is nice and thick, just slightly thinner than an ice cream float!

Tis the Spirit of the Season!!!

 

[tinselwolverine]

You could go to McDonald's and get an egg or sausage McMuffin and a potatoe cake, and bring sour cream and apple sauce for the potato cake.

My little guy told me the other day, quite out of the blue, that "we don't celebrate Hya-nuu-kah!" And that it is different than Christmas in that "there aren't candy canes, but there are cookies." Then he said it was pretty much the same thing as Christmas pretty much.

I am going to celebrate by dining out tonight and not tipping my waitress.



(I keed, I keed...)

 

[michlady77]

No, no, you have it wrong...

You don't stiff the help; you haggle with the management over the bill...
