The Festival of Lights is here. Congratulations, Jews, Corporate America has mostly ignored you! Maybe you can enjoy the special aspects of Chanukah that haven’t withered away into popular oblivion. Now that’s something everyone should celebrate.

Wow.
Yeah, but we still don’t have a “Charlie Brown Chanukah Special.”
And what about Kwanzaa? Congratulations, African Americans, Andrew Phelps has mostly ignored your “first fruits of the harvest.” Fret not, though, Sam Reed will gladly light the seven candles of the kinara with you.
Sam,
Um, Kwanzaa starts December 26.
Are you saying that my friends and I can’t drink from the kikombe cha umoja and give each other zawadi, just because it’s a few weeks too early? Well, dammnit, if Christmas can start earlier and earlier every year, then so can Kwanzaa!
Yeah, but we still don't have a “Charlie Brown Chanukah Special.”
