Everyone knows that the holiday season is a prime-time source for funny tweets, smashing jokes, good ol' dad jokes, and anything that combines family drama, constant overeating, low-key cocktail intoxication, and you name it. For Christmas, you've got one kind of a funny drill, for Thanksgiving, it’s another kind of fun, and Hanukkah offers a whole other fountain of hilarity to tweet about.
And this year, The Festival of Lights started on December 10 and it’ll be rolling until the 18th, so you've got plenty of time to reflect on Jewish goodness like eating latkes for breakfast and coming up with gifts for a toddler who expects a present every consecutive night. Nobody said parenting was easy, but try doing it on Hanukkah.
So this time, we’ve rounded up some of the funniest Hanukkah tweets that have been surfing around social media and cracking smiles on their way.

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.
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.
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!
In the Netherlands we have Sinterklaas, children get ( little)presents in their shoes for 14 days..
Yeah, I can imagine that little kids don't quite understand not to touch fire yet.
Oh, this is from 2012. Could have sworn it was from 2020, because I wouldn't put it past this year to pull armageddon.
One of the nights we gave a gift to a child or children in need instead of our daughter.
