It’s the first night of Hannukah and you know what that means: time for the Christmas iPod Song of the Week! As an addendum to the last post, I should say there are a few Hannukah songs and I do not mean “Oh Dreidl, I made it out of clay” or anything by Adam Sandler. My favorite is called Mi Yimalel, but I couldn’t find a good version on YouTube. Feel free to Google if you want to hear the bad ones. But it’s much more fun to sing because it goes around and around and you can sing it in a round, actually. I’m humming it in my head for you. You’re welcome!

Anyway, this first night of Hannukah happens to coincide with the Sunday before Christmas/Jewish Family Day and so, this being the third annual holiday edition, you get my third favorite Christmas song. This one isn’t as jolly as the other two and it’s got that shrill Yoko Ono section, but really, how can you get more spiritual meaning than, “And so this is Christmas, and what have you done?” I think we all did awesome this year, if you (coughelectiondaycough) know what I mean.

But really, war is over… if you want it. I think we all want it, yes?

Happy holidays, everyone!
