I have a little dreidel. I made it out of clay.
When it's dry and ready, then dreidel I shall play.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, then dreidel I shall play.

It's that time of year again. The time to eat cheap chocolate coins and potato pancakes, light candles and give gifts before the Christians get around to it. It starts tonight at sunset.

I won't be home before Hannukah is over this year, so I'll probably end up giving late gifts to everybody. What are you doing for what is probably the least holy holiday of the year?

    Chocolate coins are a Jewish thing?

    I heard we're talking about hash-browns and pirate-gold in here. Is it true somebody formed a religion around those things? That's pretty wacky.

    Potato pancakes are not quite hashbrowns. I may not be jewish, but the Russian-Slovak side of me knows a good potato pancake is way better.

    Nice little holiday you have here. Quaint.

    Now I'm gonna get back to watching my month long Christmas marathons, lighting the house to the point that it is visible from orbit, and putting trees inside my house for Jesus. Ya know, the guy you killed?

    Something inside me told me I should GIS Jewish Santa. The results:

    You stay out of my holiday, and I'll stay out of yours.
    As a child I don't think I knew one Jewish kid. All I knew of Hanukkah was from Rugrats.

    Depends on whether or not you've had a good hash-brown too, I'd wager.

    Hash browns: fried, chopped potatoes.
    Latkes: fried, grated potatoes, plus onions and eggs.

    Hash browns: lonely diner food, often served with sausage.
    Latkes: instant festivity, served with sour cream or applesauce.

    Don't confuse hash-browns with homefries. It's easy to do and there's a lot of regional dialect that makes it confusing but a good hash-brown is grated into matchsticks or thinner.

    David Brooks on Hannukah: The Hanukkah Story.

    Actually I knew all this "debunking" stuff -- I generally take it to mean that theocracy doesn't work even when it's nice Jewish boys doing it -- but it's an interesting take.

    No worries, you just got it out of the way early. Or, if you didn't say the blessings right, it's like you never celebrated anything at all! :D

    of course I've been saying them right

    'baruch ata adonai, eloheinu melech ha-olam, mumble mumble mumble mumble hanukkah!'

    that's how I learned from my family anyway
