Chanukah Bush

While hanging an ornament on my Chanukah bush…it’s a short Christmas tree, but we can pretend. Any other time of the year it’s just a tree, but whatever - we’ll pretend it’s Chanukah themed for the next 8 days.

Why is Adam Sandler's, Chanukah song all we have? Maybe it isn’t, but you get my point. I do love Adam Sandler though, he is my favorite comedian. Not sure when he turned into an actor, but he’s got a repertoire of some serious roles like Click and Spanglish. Shocking, if you saw the Water Boy that is. You had to be on drugs and/or alcohol to make it through that movie. Some kind of substance at the very least. I’d even take a prescription drug.

I hate when people put up holiday lights that are red, green and blue. For color pattern sake, pick one. When people put up holiday lights with multi-colors or pastels, it looks like they forgot to take their ritalin. And of course those are the people that leave it up all winter, not just over the holiday. There’s got to be some order, theme, not something that looks like a 6 year olds sequence dance costume. Those costumes were shiny and vibrant. They screamed small town pazzaz. Definitely not going the modest route. And your parents would have to dip into their 401k just to afford to buy you a new outfit for each routine, like that was necessary. This recital is so far off Broadway, you’re near Asia. But then a bunch of 6 year olds had to sift through a stack of stinky ballet slippers. It’s like buying a Versace outfit and pairing it with Payless shoes.

But I digress. I’m not an ordained minister, so I’ll stop preaching.
