Chanukah...Hanukkah...Latkes!

Steps to the perfect Chanukah Party:

#1

Making Latkes (and some mildly creepy faces):

downside: hot grease: HOT grease

upside: making deals with Jewish friends: Jews make mix, Gentiles fry. Divide and conquer Latkes. 

#2

Get together with large group of good friends to celebrate. 

downside: some of you get stuck at the "kids" table because there's not enough room

upside: spending a festive night with friends, eating latkes

#3

End up at the "kids" table: Practice excessive hand talking. 

downside: can quickly escalate, resulting in unintended violence. 

upside: who doesn't like excessive hand gestures?

#4

Get actual Jews to light the dime store menorah/ throw up gang signs

downside: you don't know what they're saying because you don't speak hebrew... or what W means... W for... Jewish? 

upside: that's what google is for

#5

Listen to Chanukah rap. 

downside: someone actually took the time to rewrite top 40 music and make these songs Chanukah themed

upside: someone actually took the time to rewrite top 40 music and make these songs Chanukah themed

#6

Play Dreidel

downside: feeling mildly uncomfortable about playing a gambling game aimed at young children

upside: chocolate coins (gelt) and pennies!
