At this point you may want to skip the unnecessary calories and just drink the oil - but not too much. Mussolini used to use this as a torture for his political enemies.
Another reason Hanukkah feels better than Christmas - Yes, Rivka'le, there is no Santa Claus.
Can I interest you in Hannukah? -
Goyim Friends The LeeVees -
A Hanukkah Pap Smear CBS Cares -
Nothing says I Love You more than the gift of a smear
Dreidel Blue David Ross -
Kurstin X Grohl: The Hanukkah Sessions: Night Six -
I know you're starting to wish there were more nights for more covers
A Week and a Day Boyz II Menorah -
Remember, so far there has been no barking dog version of I had a Little Dreidel. You might begin thinking about where you are going to store your Hanukkah decorations? (I don't mean to insinuate that you aren't normally observant. Perhaps you proudly display your heirloom menorah in your living room. I can't be everywhere.)
I'm trying to figure out, Chairman of what Board? People come up to me and seriously say: 'Well, what are you Chairman of?' And I can't answer them.
Welcome to our 13th Annual tribute to Ole Blue Eyes - Acme's tip of the hat to The Chairman of the Board.
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. Although this song is associated with Christmas, there is no mention of the holiday in the lyrics. It's about making the most of a snowy day by spending it with a loved one by the fire.
Christmas Memories -
Christmas Memories is a fairly obscure holiday song written by Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, and Don Costa in 1975.
Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town -
This was written in 1932 by Haven Gillespie and J. Fred Coots. They had trouble convincing anyone to produce it because it was seen as a kids' song, which would have been very hard to sell. The big break came when Eddie Cantor sang it on his radio show in 1934, and the song became an instant hit. Coots was a writer for Cantor's show and pushed for the host to perform it. Cantor was going to pass on the song but was convinced by his wife, Ida, to give it a try.
Mistletoe And Holly -
The song was co-written by Frank Sinatra, Dok Stanford and Hank Sanicola.
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day -
On Christmas day, 1864, the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow received word that his son, a soldier in the Civil War, had been wounded. Just two years before, Henry had lost his wife in a fire. As Longfellow sat alone with his grief, he penned words of hope to challenge his own despair. I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day was set to music by composer John Baptiste Calkin in 1872.
Have Yourselves A Merry Little Christmas -
Songwriters Hugh Martin and Ralph Blaine wrote the classic song Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas for Judy Garland's 1944 movie, Meet Me in St. Louis, along with dozens of other songs for MGM and Broadway musicals.
Acme would like to bring you this 1957 Christmas episode of The Frank Sinatra Show - Happy Holidays with Bing and Frank
The special was filmed in color, although ABC originally broadcast it in black and white. The special was directed by Frank Sinatra himself. He and Bing Crosby team up for several musical numbers celebrating the holiday season. Because Bing Crosby liked to pre-record his music in the morning and lip synch on film and Frank Sinatra preferred to record live in the evening, the musical "duets" were recorded ten hours apart with only soft piano accompaniment. Nelson Riddle overrode the piano with the orchestra during editing.
There are things about organized religion which I resent. Christ is revered as the Prince of Peace, but more blood has been shed in His name than any other figure in history. You show me one step forward in the name of religion, and I'll show you a hundred retrogressions. .
