If the dog means that only he and the cat are Jewish, I don’t get it. If he means the whole family is Jewish, I don’t get it.

Four Things I Love About Christmas
Cidu Bill on Dec 14th 2010
1- That thing about Jewish families celebrating Christmas by going to the movies and eating at Chinese restaurants? Not just a cliché. And the ritual becomes more important as the kids get older, go off to college, have their increasingly separate lives, because it becomes the one day of the year when we absolutely will see a movie as a family, and go out to eat together without other plans intervening.
And it’s not only Jewish families: this area has a large Indian-American population, and they’ve pretty much adopted “our” customs. A few years ago we chose to see “Slumdog Millionaire” on Christmas day, which turned out to be a big mistake.
2- Spending Christmas Eve with our Christian friends. We don’t have to share their same beliefs, and we’re obviously not “celebrating Christmas” per se, but we’re honored to be asked to be part of their celebration.
It works both ways, of course: every year we supply a whole lot of Christians, several Hindus, and I think a Buddhist or two with their annual latke fixes. And by “we” I mean me, standing by the stovetop all evening juggling two separate frypans, trying to keep up with the demand.
3- Candy canes. Until I eat too many of them and start to feel sick. Which happens maybe three times every December. Some people know their limits. I should probably look into a 12-step program for peppermint sticks.
4- The one Christmas song that makes any school orchestra concert worthwhile:

Shopping Days
Cidu Bill on Dec 9th 2010
Not a CIDU… just wondering whether this falls into Geezer territory. Back in the day, when all stores were closed on Sundays, “days until Christmas” was different from “shopping days until Christmas.” Do people still refer to “shopping days before Christmas” (which presumably is now the same as “days until Christmas”)?

One of those rare cases where the metatext actually adds to — and is funnier than — the comic itself: “Physicists who want to protect traditional Christmas realize that the only way to keep from changing Christmas is not to observe it.”

“And happy… no…. merry Christmas.”
Is there a more obnoxious manner in which he could have made his point that only one holiday this month deserves his respect? This is Johnny Hart-worthy.

Cookies I Don’t Understand
Cidu Bill on Nov 15th 2009
I don’t see anything wrong with Christmas decorations going on sale in September or October — if I put up Christmas decorations, I’m sure I’d buy them that early (and then not get around to putting them up unti late on December 24) — but what’s with bakeries selling Christmas cookies and cupcakes the first in November? These are fresh items which will be inedible within a week. Does anybody buy them?
