i swear I saw a post that said, beautifully and festively,

“Happy Hanukkah to all those who deserve it!”

and i was just like hell yes wait and scrolled back up and it of course said “celebrate” not “deserve”

but like. i mean. for sure, guys, happy hanukkah, but only for those who deserve it.

alternately, happy hanukkah whether you celebrate it or not

if i could write those in like the foreboding drippy text I would, because they both sound mega foreboding, right? The entire concept, either way– well, I mean, I guess that’s really how Christmas works, whether you fucking like it or not here’s st nick right down your throat, so like. whew. anyway. yeah that’s not Hannukah’s style.

For real though, chag chanukah sameach, it’s a beautiful story and very apropos for our current times.

OH my other Topical Thing is that this evening as I drove down I think it was literally Main St. a car came by with a weird assortment of lights on the roof and I only realized as it passed me that it was a lit electrial menorah so like, rock on Jews of Buffalo, I am glad you are out there representing in gestures broadly all of this.

Dying laughing at this. I mis-read things like that all the time! And do the double-take and scroll back!

We are open-minded around here. I have the Virgin Mary in my bedroom. We have a shrine to Buddha in the dining room. And a Christmas tree. And we light a Menorah. Figure we need all the help we can get!

I like the belt-and-suspenders approach, there. Hedge your bets! I'm with you.
