A great miracle happened there - the fourth night

Don't forget to light your menorah before sundown today


Another reason Hanukkah feels better than Christmas - Never a silent night among Jewish families.



After hosting the fourth night of Hanukkah,



now is the time to figure out how to send all the mishpokhe home.


Adam Sandler had nothing better to do than to update his song yet again - Chanukah Song Part 4 -



It's run by a big eastern syndicate, you know.


Puppy for Hanukkah   Daveed Diggs -



I can not let my kids hear this because it will give them ideas.


Kurstin x Grohl: The Hanukkah Sessions: Night Two -

(Psst - From Left to Right)


All About That Neis    The Maccabeats -



They really are such nice boys.


It was a woman who drove me to drink. Come to think of it, I never did hang around to thank her for that. 'Hey lady! Do I look all blurry to you? 'Cause you look blurry to me!'

Today's second Holiday Theme is A Dean Martin's Christmas (Dean died on Christmas day in 1995.)



As we mentioned yesterday, Frank wasn't the only member of the Rat Pack to sing carols -


Silent Night -



Halfway through December 1818, the church organ in St. Nicholas in Oberndorf, 11 miles north of Salzburg in what is now Austria, broke (a popular version of the story claims that mice had eaten out the bellows). The curate, 26-year-old Josef Mohr, realized it couldn't be repaired in time to provide music on Christmas Eve. He told his troubles to his friend, a headmaster and amateur composer named Franz Gruber, while giving him as a present a poem he had written two years earlier. Gruber was so taken by the rhythm of the poem that he set it to music, and on Christmas Eve there was music after all. Mohr played his guitar while the pair sang the song. It was the first public performance of Stille Nacht or as we know it Silent Night.


Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! -



This was written by the lyricist Sammy Cahn and the Broadway songwriter Jule Styne in 1945. It was first recorded by Vaughn Monroe, and has since become a standard.


A Marshmallow World -



Dean Martin
performed this live with pal Frank Sinatra on the Christmas episode of The Dean Martin Show on December 21, 1967. The following year, he sang it again on the show, this time accompanied by a pair of female dancers wearing Santa suit mini-dresses.


I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm -



It's not really about Christmas, but there's plenty of winter imagery in this frosty tune, what with the snow snowing and the wind blowing, making it a holiday classic.


Jingle Bells



This was the first song played in space. On December 16, 1965, astronauts Wally Schirra and Tom Stafford were aboard Gemini 6 when they played this on a harmonica and bells to Mission Control. Both instruments are displayed at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum


What the hell I'm starting to feel the bourbon, let's watch an entire episode of The Dean Martin Christmas Show -



The reason I drink is because when I'm sober I think I'm Eddie Fisher.



There are 12 days until Christmas


Demand Euphoria.
