Educate this goy in the ways of Jewmas.

[Beware the Beast Man]

I am thinking of expanding my holiday horizons this year, and along with Festivus, the Beast House would like to celebrate Jewmas. I am aware of the traditional Chinese dinner, but what other customs do you have, oh chosen ones?

1. Bowling and movies are also a part of the Jewmas festivities.

Movie theaters are always open, and you'd be surprised at how many bowling alleys you can find open for business on Dec. 25.

However, since Dec. 25 is the first night of Ccchhhhannukkkkkaaaahhhh this year, Jewmas celebrations may be curtailed by the sheer fact that my people will actually have something to DO.

2. Like eating latkes, and other beige foods

Mmmm starchalicious

4. Kind of like the old story, where baby Jesus was given gifts

of gold, frankincense, and size 11 bowling shoes.

7. Size 11?

Man, he must've been hung like a GOD!

Oh, wait...

3. A rousing game of Mah Jong

5. I love Mah Jongg. I have to play it on the computer, though...

No Mah Jongg players around here.

[Taverner]

6. What is Mah Jongg?

I never played it, and my brain exploded when I tried to learn Bridge...

I fear a similar experience...

16. um kind of like scrabble and cards combined

with tiles. It's fun!

[tigereye]

14. I play every week with some friends after tai chi class

too bad you aren't around here, I love playing. :hi:

[Richardo]

15. "When I'm stressed I take tai chi or drink chai tea"

One of Lisa Simpson's better lines.

8. don't skimp on the burning bush.

9. This Year, Christmas and the first night of Hanukkah coincide

So Jewmas is called off.....

In my bi-cultural home, (Presbyterian and Jewish) we will be having latkes and geld along with the Turkey and Prime Rib.......

[Ikonoklast]

11. Leaving some latkes and blintzes

out for Hanukkah Charlie.

Many moons ago I worked for a wholesale meat-packing firm owned by a Jewish family and had a lot of Jewish employees. We all loved holiday times because the both the Christian and Jewish holidays were all paid days off.

Great boss, a fairer man I have never worked for. Shalom, Gerry.

12. You are a goy. You and Mrs Beast Man are goyim.

...and that's the extent of my cross-cultural knowledge of Judaism. :)
