bc i’m tired of seeing christmas fic written about jewish characters! anyway here are some prompt ideas, goy inclusive even. anyone is free to use/rb!
It’s an hour until first night candle lighting. Person A and Person B reach for the last pack of candles at the store at the same time
The neighborhood loses power. Person A, who is not Jewish, sees that their neighbor Person B has a lot of candles going and stops in for some light. (Surprise! It’s Channukah!)
Somehow person A gets roped into cooking all the latkes for a Channukah party, which is fine, until Person B decides to tell them they’re making them wrong. OR person B starts eating too many OR Person B causes a huge mess
There are accusations of dreidel cheating—which means Person A and Person B have to play with someone else’s dreidel and an audience for bragging rights. Trash talking encouraged.
Person A, a goy, was invited to Person B’s Channukah party but Person B didn’t think they’d attend—now it’s Channukah and Person A clearly has no idea what’s going on and it’s kind of endearing how clueless they are
“Your latkes gave me food poisoning” “no it was the horrid sour cream you insisted on putting on my perfectly good latkes”
You accidentally caught your Christmas sweater on fire at my Channukah party while inspecting the channukiah. we put it out immediately and I’m trying not to laugh but oh no you think I’m laughing at you, not at the ridiculousness of the situation
This is a Bring Your Own Channukiah party what do you mean you didn’t bring a Channukiah/candles i guess we can share
“Channukah is about the miracle of the oil” “Channukah is about military victory” “Channukah is about eating fried foods, clearly”
you got sufganiyot jelly all over your shirt and now you need to borrow something of mine to wear this could get awkward
Happy Hanukkah, everyone, from these two jerks! I’m posting this a little early this year. Line art by the amazing Ro Stein & Ted Brandt, and colour art by @deecunniffe.
I want to point out what a technical achievement this story is on the art side. There’s a real joy to creating a whole story in eight panels, but this? This is some magic. We introduce four new characters. In panel 5, SIX PEOPLE are talking. SIX. In the world of comics, that’s almost un-doable.
Yet Ro and Ted arranged everything so the conversations flow and are sensibly grouped, all the “acting” is fantastic, and then Dee laid on top these beautiful, almost fairytale colours – look at the subtle work, the blush in Henry’s cheeks, Frank’s five o-clock shadow, the shine of the wine bottle’s glass surface, the light texturing in the backgrounds… and of course the snow! This is some first-class illustration work on an incredibly hard script. (I fear Ro and Ted always get me at my worst – my very formalist script for them in the 24 Panels anthology was no cakewalk either. (The problem is, they’re just so damn good at it… check out their work on the Image comic Crowded!)
Disgusting you should be ashamed of yourself everyone knows the cool sour cream with with the warm latke fresh out of being fried…..
Mmmmm now that’s Jewish art.
Anyone who disagrees is wrong, and has bad opinions.
**whispers** ketchup

I like to think that I am a reasonable person. I can enjoy my latkes with the cinnamony sweetness of applesauce. I love to slather them with some cool, tangy sour cream. I’ve never tried the two mixed up, but I know some people who do that and I respect their choices.
However, it is an absolute certainty that people who desecrate latkes with ketchup have no place in HaOlam HaBa.
Applesauce and sour cream lovers NEED to unite against this BULLSHIT
I saw someone pour chocolate sauce on a latke and stuff it into their mouth at least ketchup and potatoes go together
I’m,, in tears rn,,, p leas e put me out my misery
Have any of you tried it with horseradish?
…l am intrigued by the idea of horseradish. In combination with sour cream?
There’s a relatively-new food truck across town that has been tempting me on Instagram with pictures of lox-topped latkes.
Latkes topped with an over easy egg and lox 👌 highly recommend
I mix syrup and ketchup together. #NoShame
I regret to inform all of you that the correct answer is caramelized onions.
here is the thing, the big problemo i have now that it is November™. it’s not just that I heard christmas music playing in OCTOBER, or that christmas now occupies like, october, november, december as a concept, it is that i deeply love the WINTER AESTHETIC, and yet it is almost impossible to find it existing in a context that isn’t explicitly about christmas or to have people assume it is about christmas and then worst of all, if i dare love chanukkah with all my little heart i will have to constant remind everyone that yes, i KNOW it is a MINOR holiday, and it’s NOT that important in the grand scheme of the jewish calendar but a.) i really like candles and fire when it is cold out and b.) need something to prevent me from going insane when there is not enough sun because it’s winter and it lasts forever and c.) GENTILES DON’T HAVE THE MONOPOLY ON PINE TREES, SNOW, OR DEER WITH ANTLERS THEY JUST DON’T.
you: chanukkah isn’t that import–
me, putting my hand over your mouth: shhhhHHHshh shhh.
