It's The Holiday Season!

It's the Holiday Season!

Holidays in the time of COVID are going to be. . .interesting. Wear ya mask! Be careful when going places that are indoors because that's where spread could be the highest. If you plan to visit family, be careful. Set boundaries, make sure you stay safe and they do as well.

And on that note, let's talk about fun stuff! Music! My family's Catholic, I'm not. My parents agree with me that the church has done some AWFUL shit, but we are big fans of Pope Francis. He's awesome. I love listening to Christmas music, it's one of my favorite genres of music. The classics to the modern stuff, Bing Crosby to the Barenaked Ladies. The Barenaked Ladies actually brings me to my next point!

So. My absolute FAVORITE song on their holiday album is Hanukkah Blessings. It's beautifully done, gorgeously sung, and the lyrics in Yiddish only make it better. I know, I know, I'm not Jewish. None of my family is. I don't go around preaching teachings from the Torah or appropriating Jewish culture. I have an appreciation for it. Hanukkah Blessings is a song that I just happen to love. People can enjoy music from other cultures. To all those who say that's a bad no-no, it's not like we're profiting off of it. And to all those confused about why the Barenaked Ladies have three Hanukkah songs on their holiday album-one of their members is Jewish. They wanted to honor that member and celebrate his religious holiday.

So, wrapping this shit up, be kind! Be understanding. Don't use another's culture and parade it as your own. Go ahead and play that Hanukkah song if you're Christian and enjoy it. Just don't try and profit off of it. The holiday season is a time for understanding, joy, and kindness. It's my favorite time of year. Christmas is my favorite holiday. Enjoy your holidays! Whether it's Kwanza, Hanukkah, Christmas, or some other winter holiday I'm forgetting.

“Why do people like a character who’s committed war crimes but hate this other character just because they’re annoying” because it’s fiction Susan, and being annoying in fiction is a greater sin than being a supervillain, because it won’t make me want to read about them. It isn’t difficult to understand
