Mostly As: You are a total holiday planner who always gets the family in line. You should watch ‘The Goldbergs,’ “A Christmas Story” and watch as Beverly Goldberg tries to give her family a “Super Hanukkah” celebration. All the planning that Beverly puts into making the perfect holiday for her family goes awry but the Goldberg family still manages to get it together for dinner at a Chinese restaurant.
Mostly Bs: You should prep some snacks and sit down to binge watch Bubala Please videos on YouTube! These hilarious NSFW (and probably not safe for Bubbe either) videos feature two gangster Jews bonding over their shared religion and culture. They cook traditional Jewish foods, celebrate holidays and even become bar mitzvahed together! Be sure to check out their free book Luis’s Guide to Back-Alley Dreidel to spice up your traditional night of games.
Mostly Cs: Gather the family and pop in your battered orange VHS copy of ‘Rugrats,’ “A Rugrats Chanukah,” or find it online if you have moved into the 21st century. This classic Hanukkah movie is perfect for you to watch with the whole family. It is by far the best Hanukkah special out there and it has stood the test of time, teaching generation after generation the true “meany of Hanukkah.”
