How will this affect Black Friday!
I imagine all the good sales will be over by sundown, so probably not much. 
Seriously, I know very little about the ins and outs of Jewish holidays, but afaik there’s no prohibition against work or dietary restrictions for Hanukkah, so I can’t imagine this would affect Jewish shoppers or retail workers more than any other year.
Bingo. What does mean is that we have buy most of our gifts full price, before Black Friday and holiday sales begin. 
The turkey tail can be used as a dreidel.
Of course, none of us have asked the $64M question, here: Will the latkes be made with sweet potatoes and served with cranberry sauce? Because I could convert for that shit.
I can’t plan my dinners out that far in advance.
You never planned anything with a Rabbi, did you?
Obviously this is THE year for deep fried turkey!
Okay, that one had me looking for the “like” button.
Where does the 70,000 years come from. It requires that the year start as early as possible, but the calendar ought to recycle every 19 years. Yes, I do know that some years start late because Rosh Hashonah is allowed to start only on certain days of the week, but Wednesday evening, as this year, is one of the favored days. Thanksgiving has to be as late as possible, but that happens every seventh year. So I really want to know where the 70,000 years is coming from.
My DIL is not only planning turkey and latkes, but making cranberry-apple sauce to go with it.
Probably calculated by one of those Rabbis concerned with the calendar.
What doesn’t get eaten the first night goes straight into the gumbo pot. I guarantee it won’t last seven days before we snarf it all down.
If it did, then, I guess it would be a miracle…
:rolleyes:
When I read this part, I couldn’t help but think of Gordon Freeman in a Chicken-HEV Suit:
“Its late. I’m cold and tired and I don’t have much time. The men with dogs from Perdue Farms seem to never sleep, but if I don’t write this down, no one will know.
The rest are gone, but with some clever use of tools and good timing I’ve sabotaged 5 of processors. I caught some metal when the last one went up, and I probably won’t be alive when you read this…”
“Sir…! We’ve. Got. Hostiles…!”
Not yet, but I have a few thousand years to go. It could happen.
So it may.
What, no turkey sandwiches? Or Turkey/Stuffing/Mashed Potato Casserole?
All gumbo, all the time?
Yeah, seems like ruining the turkey to me.
Going to gumbo on day 2 seems like rushing it to me. Yeah, by the 6th day or so I can see gumbo happening.
