Throwback to 1888, when the last time Thanksgiving and Hannukah had a baby, thus Thanksgivukkah was born. Next time, Not until 8100 which is honestly weird thing to say and think about. Chills, gtfo.
Truth be told, I'm jewish. If you didn't realize it by this post and this one, too. Tonight starts the festival of lights, and it's really not that exciting. I sometimes used to tell people I celebrated xmas because hannukah can be overrated.
The good parts about Hannukah?
Adam Sandler. I mean he really is much more to me than Hannukah, but he made the public care about Hannukah. The one and only Hannukah related movie: 8 Crazy nights. I used to watch it religiously in middle school because it was PG-13 and frankly, that was cool shit. And what about Sandlers genius Hannukah songs? Hey gd, can you send me Adam Sandler for Hannukah? Please. Please. Please.
"So drink your gin and tonic-ka...and smoke your marijuana-ka..." If you insist, Adam.
The food. Latkes (potato pancakes), Chocolate gelt (YES CHOCOLATE) from playing Dreidel.
The music. Maccabeats? Le freaking duh. And all the other famous songs gone remixed are a good laugh too. It's always nice when it's so relatable.
We don't celebrate Xmas. NO. trust me. Not what I mean. But basically going to the movies on Christmas and eating chinese (only thing open) is a freaking party with everyone you know. And I know a lot of jews.
The bad parts?
A good 99% of the time it's been hannukah I've had school. Excuse me it's sometimes unfair because Christmas has a good leg of surrounding days spend doing absolutely freakin' nothing. Like oh hey Hannukah, I had school today and now let's light the candles. Unfair.
8 Days, 8 presents...more or less. My presents since getting older have gotten as scarce as a forrest after a fire. Really though. I am thankful for all I get, truly. But its usually presents that I want before hand, therefore once Hannukah hits I get no 'physical' present.
In the mean time, I'm going to enjoy my days in the Florida sun for the week, and watch a helluva lot of The Goldberg's because well I'm Jewish. (and that show is beyond relatable for any Jew).
Cya next week duders. Have a happy thanksgiving!
Potato pancakes are my shizz!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAH love the ecards at the end. You're hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in preschool they made us latkes during Hanukkah once and I went home and told my mom that I wished we were Jewish so that we could eat latkes. I'm pretty sure she got a good kick out of that!
ReplyDeleteHappy Hanukkah!
ReplyDeleteI live in an area where like a third of the people are Jewish....ohh yes I've heard all about Thanksgivukkah. ;P

ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgivukkah!!! (no I didn't have to check Kathryn's comment to make sure I had the correct spelling......) That holiday is so rad! It's like being born on leap year, hahaha!
ReplyDeletepotato pancakessssss. my second family is jewish. so i grew up loving hannukah as much as any actual jew. i was jealous though because my friends got to celebrate hannukah and christmas and i thought it was super unfair. regardless, YAY JEWS.
ReplyDeletei love you.
You're killing me, my little Jewish friend!
ReplyDeleteHave fun in the FLO!
Happy Thanksgivukkah! Challah stuffing sounds amazing today. Have fun in Florida! :)
ReplyDeleteLatkes are the reason I tried to convince my family that we should embrace the Jewish heritage of my Grandmothers family. My mom said sure, but nothing really came from that. Happy Hanukkah! :)
