  • Christmas card from the Commission for Racial Equality

    It's real, and damn good satire, in fact.

    happy (only if you choose to be cheerful) multi-faith (or agnostic or atheist) non-denominational winter festival which happens to coincide with the astronomical solstice (only if you believe celestial movements aren't random or caused by your deity/ies) of your choice?

            I like how all the 'references' lead to the author's book on Amazon.

                The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

                  Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an
                  environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender
                  neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable
                  traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your
                  choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others,
                  or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all and a fiscally
                  successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset
                  of the generally accepted calendar year 2000, but not without due respect for the
                  calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make
                  America great (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country
                  or is the only "AMERICA" in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the
                  race, creed, color, age, physical disability, religious faith, choice of computer platform,
                  or sexual preference of the wishee.

                  Legal Disclaimer: By accepting this agreement, you are accepting these terms.

                  This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no
                  alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually
                  implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by
                  law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.

                  This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good
                  tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting,
                  whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance
                  of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

                            T'was the night before Chanukah, boychicks and maidels
                            Not a sound could be heard, not even the draidels.
                            The Menorah was set on the chimney, alight
                            In the kitchen the Bubba hut gechapt a bite.
                            Salami, pastrami, a glassala tay
                            And zayerah pickles with bagels, oh vay!
                            Gezunt and geschmack, the kinderlach felt
                            While dreaming of tagelach and Chanukah gelt.

                            The clock on the mantelpiece away was tickin'
                            And Bubba was serving a schtikala chicken.
                            A tumult arose like a thousand brauches,
                            Santa had fallen and broken his tuches.
                            I put on my slippers, eins, tsvay, drei,
                            While Bubba was now on the herring and rye.
                            I grabbed for my bathrobe and buttoned my gotkes
                            While Bubba was busy devouring the latkes.

                            To the window I ran and to my surprise
                            A little red yarmulke greeted my eyes.
                            Then he got to the door and saw the Menorah,
                            "Yiddishe kinder," he said, "Kenahora.
                            I thought I was in a goyisha hoise,
                            But as long as I'm here, I'll leave a few toys."

                            With much geshray, I asked, "Du bist a Yid?"
                            "Avada, mien numen is Schloimay Claus, kid."
                            "Come into the kitchen, I'll get you a dish,
                            A guppell, a schtickala fish."
                            With smacks of delight, he started his fressen,
                            Chopped liver, knaidlach and kreplah gagessen.
                            Along with his meal, he had a few schnapps,
                            When it came to eating, this boy was the tops.

                            He asked for some knishes with pepper and salt,
                            But they were so hot, he yelled "Oy Gevalt."
                            Unbuttoning his haizen, he rose from the tish,
                            And said, "Your Kosher essen is simply delish."
                            As he went to the door, he said "I'll see you later,
                            I'll be back next Pesach, in time for the Sedar."

                            More rapid than eagles his prancers they came,
                            As he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
                            Now Izzy, now Morris, now Yitzak, now Sammy,
                            Now Irving and Maxie, and Moishe and Mannie."
                            He gave a geshray as he drove out of sight:
                            "Gooten Yomtov to all, and to all a good night."

                              But he would think of something
