Chanukah !!!


I love Chanukah, it is indeed a nice Yom Tov, where you get to spend time with the family , laugh and shmooze a little. Yet the entire day is rather a routine one, there is no pressure of having everything included in the grocery order before Yom Tov, the goyte will come and clean as on a regular day, your robe or Tichel does not have to be new , and breakfast and lunch are with no special menu’s ..

You get some invites to some parties, and that’s when the pressure starts, impressing the shviger or your aunts that will attend Bobbies party just aint that easy, since ice sculpture of a menorah engraved with “ we love bobbie” is an art that some of us would have trouble on the “ice” recipe, since it isn’t in the “cook book”.
Then there is this other huge dilemma, of what to get as a gift. I.e. a leather zemiros is only for him, and new towels matching the new tiles in the bathroom is rather for her, so each has to wreck their brains and come up with something unique, in-expensive and yet pleasing both parties.

But I think the hardest of all is the personalized grab bags, since it has to be under $ 5.00 and related to this particular person, everyone has to laugh, but yet, the receiver of the gift, should still be willing to talk to me after the party. Now that sure is a tough one, like how am I gonna tie in a Zebra for Zeldy, or a T-shirt for Tovia?

I will share with you my little secret there are a few party prankers websites online, that can help you with that.
For example, I bought the fake lotto last year and it was great. We bought four legit scratch off lottos and the fifth one was the fake one-where it says the scratcher has won 100,000.00 in cash, I don’t think I have to describe the scene to you all. it was just as you can imagine it, someone buying an apartment, and cutting edges on all the nice things they really wanted to have , but cant, since its too expensive, and all of a sudden “Hashem” sends them this un-expected lump sum!!! WOW!!!
Just a tip, enjoy!!! Oh , if you do the lotto one, have your cam-corder ready!!

I also agree that it would have to be s/o with a sense of humor.

Of course, that is one of the main concerns in a grab bag, make sure they can handle it! But yes people I have to warn you, we have overestimated them too. We had to give them the tape.

Der Yid: I didnt get it.
YY. it is in our days though.

Open, You are right, and the idea of gifts on Chanukah has probably been adopted cause of Christmas.

But really now, you expect dreidel to be fun? well maybe if you play it like slik said . ;)

BTW Slik, canI get an invite?

Eshet in the back of the fake one it tells you that you can only redeem your cash if you contact them withing 60 seconds of scratching, and the address you can see its bogus, you know what, i wish everyone should have this problem..

Posting an e-mail I gotfrom a shy blogger:
"Shy to post, but you can do it for me.
I think one of my family is reading your blog, but he did it differently, he bought a reg. lottery ticket on Thursday, and chose the #'s that won on Wednesday before, and he called the lottery line, and his #'s came up as the winning #'s, (no one looked at the dates). was a lot of fun.
BTW I am wondering who else i Know,is reading it, since i never discussed it with anyone."
