Don't forget to perform your tzadakah

Another reason Hanukkah feels better than Christmas -
betting Hanukkah gelt (money) on candle races.



Impress your friends: The fifth night of Hanukkah is called 'the darkest night', not because it falls on one of the last days of the Hebrew month of Kislev (meaning there is no moon), but because it is the only night of Hanukkah that can NEVER fall on Shabbat

I believe that oil fatigue may have already set in. Hold on, you will get through this.


Our second holiday feature is our annual salute to former prisoner 1073015 - Through the mid-'60s, Phil Spector was focused on singles, with his definition of an album being "two hits and ten pieces of junk." He took a different approach, however, when he put together a Christmas album in 1963, where he put a great deal of effort into every track. So please join us at ACME while we listen to The Phil Spector Christmas Album.



The only original song on the album was Darlene Love's Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), which he wrote with Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich. Spector issued the song as a single when the album came out, but unfortunately this was the same day US president John F. Kennedy was shot and killed. This seriously dampened the holiday mood and the single, as well as the album, were withdrawn.

I know it's not Christmas in our home unless we hear Darlene Love sing, so please enjoy Darlene Love's very first Christmas appearance on the David Letterman Show







And here's her 2014 (and final) appearance on the David Letterman Show:



But fear not -



And she actually sings other holiday songs:

All Alone on Christmas -




Christmas Must Be Tonight




Christmastime for the Jews -




Get that Holiday shopping done
