2. I've found a beautiful Hanukkah card for my friend

it has a street scene with houses, some decked out for Christmas and some decked out for Hanukkah. It says, "Happy Holidays from our lights to yours." I really liked that card and I can't wait to send it.

3. Not really ready at all

Gotta dig out the electric menorah and check the bulbs, buy some candles and potatoes! Then I'll be ready !!

Happy Chanukah to all! :-)

4. I'm ready - bought my candles over the weekend

and I'm seriously ready for some LATKES!!!!!

[fryguy]

6. the real question, therefore is.....

apple sauce or sour cream?

[Danmel]

7. Applesauce

I usually eat my latkes with brisket and I NEVER eat sour cream with Brisket (eewwwww).

I make my own applesauce- it's so easy and so much better than the jarred stuff.

9. sour cream

My mother made the best applesauce but she is no longer around.

12. Applesauce for me although I always

have both available. And don't forget to hand-grate the potatoes - unless there is a bit of blood, they won't turn out as good.

8. Me!

I've been studying Hebrew this year so now I know what the prayer means! :bounce: :bounce:

10. I'm a Gentile, but in the spirit of the season.......

It's hard to be a jew on Christmas.
My friends won't let me join in any games.
And I can't sing Christmas songs,
or decorate a Christmas tree,
or leave water out for Rudolph cause there's something wrong with me.
My people don't believe in Jesus Christ's divinity.

I'm a jew, a lonely jew on Christmas.

Hannakah is nice, but why is it that Santa passes over my house every year?
And instead of eating ham, I have to eat kosher latke.
Instead of "Silent Night", I'm singing "hu, hach, do hachvi.".
And what the fuck is up with lighting all these fucking candles, tell me please.

I'm a jew, a lonely jew-
I’d be Merry, but I’m Hebrew,
On Christmas.

11. Getting ready

We (kids and I) celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas. Oy.

13. I am ready

Menorah is out, candles are ready, need to check the lighter. My wife was pissed when she saw me put the menorah out and announce my preparation complete while she was still trying to figure out the lights on the tree.

Latkes with both sour cream AND applesauce. We do zucchini-potato latkes. They rock. And the brisket is delicious too.
