I walk into a nice paper store. I’m bombarded by Christmas. There are Christmas napkins, aprons, doormats, tea cups, Christmas cards, do-it-yourself Christmas cards, and don’t forget to join the email list for more Christmas craft ideas.
I see three rolls of Hanukkah paper. A young guy clerk asks me,
“Can I help you?”
“Yes, do you have any other Hanukkah paper?”
“This is it.”
“Ok, thank you.” I pretend to look through my options again. I hear the guy remark to the other guy behind the counter.
“I like Hanukkah better than Christmas. It’s so much classier.”
Now please excuse me while I go wrap Hanukkah presents and listen to Christmas music.

See upper left hand corner of photo, someone has brought the Steins a present and they couldn’t find any Hanukkah paper. |
