I thought Halachos were Islamic Nachos..
Reminds me of the story Charlton Heston told about being at a party during the filming of “The Ten Commandments” and telling Milton Berle that he was exhausted from all the long days getting into and out of make up and filming in the role of Moses. Berle supposedly replied “Oh, you thought it was easy being a Jew”.
This is hilarious! Thanks for posting. Traditionally, for western Christians, Christmas season begins midnight Christmas morning and Epiphany is 12 days later. Christmas season ends Feb 2, Candlemas Day, by the traditional calendar.
Thank you for this sharing this! I have forwarded it to my adult children in the hopes it will provide guidance for us from Reb Kringle in such essential disputes as when is it too soon to decorate the tree, may an artificial tree be used etc.
My personal favorite is the minhagin for placing decorations symmetrically:
III. 2 (20) derived from the law that one’s head tefillin the must be placed in the exact middle of one’s head, and the similarity of the words “tefillin” and “tree fallen”
(if you want to get really technical, Christmas lasts beyond the Octave of Christmas and Epiphany to the Feast of the Purification of Mary (Candlemas) which is February 2nd. So no need to ditch the decorations quite so soon . . . )
Yasher koiyach for posting. I saw this long ago, laughed, and have occasionally wondered where I’d seen it. Thank you.
I thought it was cute.
BTW, I notice that this year Xmas is on Thursday, but New Yer's is on Wednesday! (Check your calendar)
