You have got to check out this site because there is a Chanukah hat that is out of a Santa Claus catalogue. Ok, let’s just give up all pretense about Chanukah being anything other than the well-to-do Jews’ answer to Christmas. My Bubbe and Zeide would just say, “oy, vhat a strange country, America”.
As a second generation American, this is NUTS!!! Celebrate Christmas but don’t turn a minor holiday into a commercial extravaganza. Ok, at least not a Christmas-lite extravaganza. Let’s not dilute Christmas and let’s not spoil our kids.
I really want the hat though
