<p>Happy Hanukkah to all the Jewish Yallies! Have a great eight days!</p>
<p>Great eight days...haha that's painful. The end of Chanukah just happens to coincide with D-Day. Ahhhh, I told my mom that we're officially postponing our celebration until the 17th, because I'm too restless and crazy and stressed and busy to celebrate.</p>
<p>But still...HAPPY CHANUKAH!!! :D</p>
<p>Chag Sameach</p>
<p>You beat me to it! I was just about to say the same thing! We just had our first latkes of the year, and I can feel my arteries clogging. Ugh. Bio students, please don't explain to me how it's not possible to feel your arteries clog... It is! But only at Chanukkah! May this be a time of light for all of us! Best of luck to all!</p>
<p>I know what you mean, I was just stuffing my face with sufgoneot. But they're so good, and Hanukkah only happens once a year. It's definatley justified. :)</p>
<p>maybe your LAST present on the LAST day of Hanukkah will be an acceptance from YALE!!!! Heh, wouldn't that be GREAT!?!?</p>
<p>you guys want to hear something original? My dad was going to make latkes, but we had no potatoes, plus we were short on time. So we crushed up potato chips, threw in some spices, a couple eggs, mixed it all together. Throw it in a pan filled w/ oil, and voila! 5 minutes later, Potato (Chip) Latkes!</p>
<p>And they were good as hell!</p>
<p>"Yo" is just "Oy" spelled backwards.</p>
<p>Happy Hanukkah!</p>
<p>Eww! Netshark, what did they taste like?</p>
<p>we're so festive that we forgot.</p>
<p>...but we wound up lighting the candles around 10 pm.</p>
<p>happy Hanukkah to my Jewish CC buddies!</p>
<p>They actually tasted really delicious! Potato chips are really just potatoes that are pre-fried and pre-salted. (and crunchy) All it did was cut down on cooking time, and they tasted very good! Plus, the texture was like that of a normal latke.</p>
<p>Now I'm regretting postponing my Chanukah to the 17th...I want latkes! :(</p>
<p>uhhh...you postponed your chanukah?</p>
<p>Yep .</p>
<p>haha ok...</p>
<p>Beth, you and I have one mind- I postponed it to after decisions also!</p>
<p>Nobody would ever think about postponing Christmas...it's sad that Jews don't care that much about their holidays.</p>
<p>poker - - - are you kidding? I hope so. first of all, yes, christians do postopone holidays - I've postponed xmas more than once, and one time my sister and i behaved terribly and my parents cancelled it. </p>
<p>second of all, channukah is a very, very minor jewish holiday, especially in comparasion to Passover (I hope you know what that is) or Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashana (Did I spell those right?), the New Year. Those would never be postponed, and unlike Christians, Jews have the self control to fast on the most important days.</p>
<p>Next time you want to make an ignorant comment, please don't do it on the Yale board where people tend to be intelligent and thoughtful.</p>
<p>woah. way to make harsh generalizations. My family and I are still lighting the candles and saying the blessings everynight; we just decided not to trade gifts until later because with everyone's busy schedules we haven;t had time to buy gifts- which is not even the pt of the holiday btw. Plus, while christmas is one of the christians most impt holidays, hanukah is one of the jews least impt ones.</p>
<p>Wow, your statement is really irritating me and I'm trying hard to ignore it.</p>
