I don't celebrate either. I just give all my money to the doormen in my building and then have nothing left for anyone else.
What do you want for Christmas or Hannukah.
I want a tall blonde personal trainer, who will get me in shape and do other wonderful things to me.

Posted: 12/4/05 at 6:00pmJeez (right word?) I just remembered that serrated metal thingy with the handle that my mother that my mother used to grate the potatoes. Sometimes my sister and I would help and scrape our fingers on that torture device.

Very funny - I especially like the one about withholding presents - though when you get a dollar or, well, underwear, for Channukah, then withholding for the night is just as good!

Christmas is Christian - Hanukkah is not
Christmas is 1 day - Hanukkah is 8 days
Christmas has a tree - Hanukkah does not
Christmas is an excuse for store sales - Hannukkah is not

i think most religious holiday celebrations are just a way to keep children interested in learning their bible lessons. No kid wants to hear about Jesus being nailed to a cross, dying, then coming back to life. Chocolate bunnies and painted eggs make it more palatable. By the same reasoning, the promise of chocolate coins and eight days of presents makes the story of the Maccabees a lot more interesting.

Posted: 12/5/05 at 6:32pmThat was very funny. One minor quibble: there are some parents (like mine) who went in heavily for the socks and underwear type of Christmas presents. Don't know if there are any of those still around though.
