Hanukkah is Chandelure’s favorite holiday!! ~
How do I handle holiday greetings as a Jew? Here’s the order of operations:
Feel free to use this in your own interactions.
And from me to you: happy holidays to all, happy Chanukah for those for whom it applies, and merry Christmas to those who’ve earned it!

The next person who tries to correct me when I say “Happy Holidays” is going to be told Happy Hanukkah instead. Very tired of hearing, “No, it’s MERRY CHRISTMAS.” I’m pretty sure Judaism was around a lot longer than your Buckstar’s boycotting butt, Karen.
My boss once shared a great story about that. This happened when he was in a layover in North Carolina back when the “War on Christmas” bullshit was first becoming prominent. He had gone to get a pack of cigarettes, and after he paid for it:
“Merry Christmas.” “Happy holidays.” “No. I said Merry Christmas.” “Do you know what Hanukkah is about?” “No, what?” “Some people tried to make us worship their ways, so we rose up and killed them. Happy Hanukkah.”
I celebrate Christmas, but generally avoid holiday themed greetings when working as a cashier unless the customer mentions their holiday specifically.
The other day, two older ladies were buying briskets and told me they were for their Hanukkah celebration that night, so I responded something like “Well Happy Hanukkah! It’s the third night, right?”
I shit you not these two old ladies were so tickled that someone at a store wished them a happy Hanukkah. One of them literally told me I was “the first one to do that”.
To those who think there’s a war on Christmas, please get the fuck over yourself and remember that not everyone experiences the world the way you do.

Tonight: light 2 candles!
Shabbat also begins at sundown tonight!
happy hannukah! 🕯
Electric Hanukkah menorahs for those places you can't have a candle menorah (dormitories, certain apartments, military barracks, etc.). Opinions, rules for reciting blessings, anything else regarding them that I should know?
@anon, as always jumblr (or almost all of it) is going to recommend that you ask your rabbi. However, my guess would be:
If anyone knows about denominational splits, let me know.
P.S. If there’s a Conservative Jew out there who wants to nag CJLS to write a responsa on this, that would be cool. I checked and they don’t have one.
tis the season
I forgot about this
I haven’t seen this show up on my dash ONCE yet this Chanukah season I have to do everything by myself
