30 Funny Hanukkah Tweets From Exhausted Parents

Modern problems require modern solutions..

gelt= money

I thought it was the Catholic parents who brought the guilt.

I'd respond to that with "sure".

I accept your dare and I raise you by two. I live in a colorful country in which we regularly celebrate two Christmases (yes, the Catholic/protestant and the Orthodox one), Hanukkah, and two Eids, because we are traditionally that mixed as a society. BAM! Unfortunately, we don't yet have a substantial population of Hindus, Buddhists, etc. to add to the toll.

Why would that anger you? It's got nothing to do with you?

Did you tell her how Superman flew out all the pilgrims?

Yass! I love friends!

Not Hanukkah Harry, who brings socks and underwear?

you do know the "eight gifts" was invented by hollywood in the 60's and never met a Jewish person, my family included who ever had a gift each night.

I’m partly ashkenazi Jewish, I need my .0001 gift.

"Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish - not too shabby"

My son did the same on the first night. His birthday is at the end of December.

HAHA JIM MY GUYYYYY

except Christians didnt start the holiday until around 80CE and still celebrated Chanukah until the early 2nd century.

My dad did this every single Christmas. He gave us crap he wanted. "Oh, you don't want that Jackson Brown CD? I guess I'll take it then." Every god damned Christmas since we were kids.

Such a thoughtful guy :-)

As the old saying goes, glitter and herpes are with you forever...

Make sure he makes a nice glitter covered gift to send to your mother as thank you. You could even sprinkle extra glitter in the package to make it extra pretty and sparkly.

Had to google "ball warmer". Wish I haven't...

Oh god I looked it up and there was one called W***y warmer

Had to look up what latkes are. Didn't realize we often eat a traditional Jewish food every other week. (Not Jewish, no Jewish ancestors) We mostly have apple-sauce with it. Lovely food!

That's Brinner.

I just ate a bunch of leftover latkes!

“No, it’s your taste buds”

In the Netherlands we have Sinterklaas, children get ( little)presents in their shoes for 14 days..

Well guess what! Until Hollywood made it up in the 1960's, there was no Idea of a present every night. In fact Orthodox Families specifically dont do that. The Ancient tradition is giving money or a gift to the child on the 5th night to celebrate their learning and educational accomplishments thoughtout the past year. So why not dump the fake hollywood garbage and celebrate it according to tradition and you will have a less spoiled child.

Took me a sec 😂

Well... vegetarian is practically a religion. A vegetarian will tell everyone you know how awesome it is and try to convert you. It affects every topic of conversation. You find yourself editing your words in case you offend them.. and certain words are blasphemous to them. And they get their own places of worship (restaurants).

socks?

You know you've become an adult when good socks become an awesome gift to receive

Then you have to behave for the holiday Armadillo!

Yeah, I can imagine that little kids don't quite understand not to touch fire yet.

This should be higher up!
