Maybe I've miscounted, is it really the seventh night?

Another reason Hanukkah feels better than Christmas - More elephants in the Hanukkah story.

Open a window someone , it's the Seventh night of Hanukkah.



That oil is a tad rancid

If you can stand it, more Hanukkah songs

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoon, the 1959 Chuck Jones directed, Wild About Hurry:



The gag where Wile E. Coyote uses the ACME Giant Rubber Band for a human slingshot is re-used in The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie.


This year's Hanukkah season is nearly over (most of the staff of ACME conveniently convert to Judaism just weeks before the festival of lights; they're looking for those gifts,) and you may be preparing for the next part of the season. Unfortunately today is the anniversary of the murder of John Lennon.



Rather than focus on his tragic end, please join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and spend the day watching how John and the other Beatles wished their fans the happiest of holidays the holidays :

The Beatles Complete Christmas fan club Records - 1963 to 1969



Each year from 1963 through 1969, the Beatles recorded a special Christmas greeting for their fans. The Official Beatles Fan Club in England sent flexi-discs containing the Christmas messages to its members each holiday season. Their recordings offered a time-capsule glimpse into the personalities and evolution of the Beatles through those years.

Paul McCartney's lost Christmas Disc 1965



Paul McCartney made a joke tape for some of this friends at Christmastime in 1965 - only three copies were known to exist - and they seemed to be lost in the ether of time. Author and musician Simon Wells had uncovered a copy of the recording last year.

Happy Xmas (War Is Over)



John and Yoko spent a lot of time in the late '60s and early '70s working to promote peace. In 1969, they put up billboards in major cities around the world that said, "War is over! (If you want it)." Two years later this slogan became the basis for this song when Lennon decided to make a Christmas record with an anti-war message. John also claimed another inspiration for writing the song: he said he was "sick of 'White Christmas.'" It was released in the US for Christmas, but didn't chart. The next year, it was released in the UK, where it did much better, charting at #4. Eventually, the song became a Christmas classic in America, but it took a while.
