Dear Diary:
With the convergence of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah, there has been a lot of talk of combining recipes and traditions. Yet, there have been no new Thanksgivukkah songs. I offer the following, to the traditional Thanksgiving melody
We gather together to light the menorah
And toast Mattathias
And brave Maccabees
They got off their tuchus
To fight with Antiochus
Spin dreidels to their names
And forget not the oil.
