What song gives you the most holiday cheer?
Submitted by Roxy.
This one is a no brainer -- it is "Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel." Just kidding. That song is the scourge of ever Jewish kid's existence during Christmas. There are 8 million beautiful Christmas songs (many of which were written by Jews -- can you say "White Christmas"?) and one pathetic little Chanukah song. Give me a break. Clearly I'm not the only one who felt that way. Adam Sandler to the rescue. If you haven't heard Sandler's "Chanukah Song," you need to listen to it. If you have heard it, you need to listen to it again. Too funny. Better yet, over the years Sandler has written three versions. Each one is great but I think the original is the best. Some time ago I wrote an homage to the Chanukah Song on SaysMe! It gets more comments than any other post on that blog -- 90% of which are antisemitic. Nicely done antisemites. But enough of my yammering, here's Sandler's Chanukah Songs I, II and III.
