A few hits from the best of the Hanukkah/Christmas internet.
I just learned at a work meeting that pickle Christmas tree ornaments are a thing. I have been wondering how to incorporate pickles into Hanukkah, besides just…eating them. Well, Petco got to it before me I guess.
Kol hakavod to Seattleite Jessica Hoffman for sharing the local Jewish screw-up of the season. The “blah” is in the first line of the article: “The Jewish holiday marking the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem more than 2,200 years ago usually begins a bit earlier.” Jews always need to be going over character count. Lesson to all: “TK” works just fine when you’re not sure how to edit our history down to six letters. Alternatively, “yada yada” will do in a pinch.
In second place…
On the 11th day of Hanukkah, my true love gave to me… an AI-generated image of “Hanukkah and Christmas on the same day”?
Facts:
Not sure how to deal with the Hanukkah-Christmas intersectionality? For the rest of us, there’s always Festivus.
Happy blah blah TK yada yada.
