On the one hand, yeah, I should be pretty happy that there actually is a Chanukah special. Moreover, the Rugrats Chanukah special is very cute and well done, and a pleasure to watch, even for an adult without children.

On the other hand. Of the three times it's being broadcast, only one is actually during Chanukah. Chanukah ends on December 7. The second broadcast will be at 2PM, December 14. A *Saturday*. The third will be Dec. 16. I really don't understand why. The wouldn't show a Christmas special during the first week of January. They wouldn't show a Christmas special on December 26. Chanukah is *eight days long*. Surely, they could have found two other timeslots during that time, given that it *is* the only Chanukah special around.

I seem to be gearing up for my yearly snit early. *Sigh*.

I'm very much looking forward to the Adam Sandler movie. We're planning to see it T'giving weekend.

However, you know...if you go by the ads, you might not even know it was a Chanukah movie. Even the URL is in red and green. I'm really not sure why.

Well, at least the town he's in has a giant ice menorah next to the christmas tree. Sandler at least manages to um, destroy both.

And for a cheery thought, the Rugrats has a very good passover special. And in some ways that's a lot more important.

Of course, from my gentile perspective, I noticed the fact Hanaukah started in late November, and decided to do my giving on Dec 1. So I have a paycheck to buy presents. I need to get things for several people, and it sort of snuck up on me.

But then so has the rest of the season, the month of november itself.
