A short one for now...
A post I wrote this morning may or may not be ready for publication. I need to read it again at lunch-time through fresh eyes to decide how smart it would be to allow it to see the light of day (yes, despite all indications to the contrary... I do censor myself). So stay tuned.
In the mean time, here is a link to a page set up by a fellow Anglo-Israeli, Jacob Richman, that contains pretty much all the well-known Hanukkah videos out there. So, if you're getting a little fed up with 'Jingle Bell Rock' or 'Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer'... here's everything you need for your holiday time wastage enjoyment on one convenient page:
Update: He also has a neat page up on his site that contains what seems to be every Hanukkah-related resource on the web.
Updated update: Alright, I just couldn't resist. Here is a link to Wesley Willis' quirky Xmas jingle. Pure seasonal gold! Feel free to share links to your favorite seasonal vids. In fact, provided they aren't potentially offensive, if you share links to your favorite holiday fare in the comments, I will repost them (with due credit, of course) here on the page.
Here, I'll get the ball rolling:
Hat TIp to Karl
Hat TIp to Alan & Chedva
Hat TIp to Jack

I heard some winter Xmas-type song while walking down the street in Jerusalem. It was great.
Of course, it was great because here in Israel, I'm not bombarded with it and 24/7 Christmas songs on the radio with no way of escaping, even for a minute.
But what I will do to hear Grandma got run over by a reindeer!

I hate to admit, but this song kind of grabs me. I suspect it is just that it reminds me of a few special memories. Is it really more than 20 years. Oy.
Love the Peanuts stuff. My son wants to know if I ever met the Great Pumpkin.

Just to say, I really love your blog. Thanks too for linking me to the Streetsofjerusalem blog. Its great to see some familiar sites. Heading to Israel from my home in NZ in January, so I hope to see snow in the City of Gold.

Christmas time for the Jews reminds of Atlantic City on Christmas Eve: Jews and Asians!
And the video from Jack brought back many memories. I think the hairstyles of the eighties were even scarier than the seventies. Just remember to wake me up before you go go, or I'm never gonna dance again (guilty feet have got no rhthym).
