Mine is in one of the Christmas Rubbermaid tubs in the garage

GOD DAMNIT I just realized I don't know where it is!
Jace99
We have a similar tradition, with scotch tape.
ThatQuietlySmirking
Oy vey!
LadyMacDeath
It's in the top drawer of the armoire. Candles? That's YOUR job
gypsyspot
look in the attic/basement/spare closet/garage/under the bed
TCGView
Just make sure it's David Lee Roth who lights it.

Well, kids in Hebrew day school in the US also do this.
ScorpionSage
Jokes on them, I keep mine in my Christmas box and it’s the first thing I see on November 1 when I open it. Otherwise I would forget lol
DonkeyGoat
They really should Menorahize it to help remember
SirDucken
Do your feet hurt? Cuz that was quite a walk
DonkeyGoat
Not really. I kept a bris-k pace.
UncleScarwasright
"Tra - diiiiiiiition! Tradition!"
Thatsagoodbid
Where did I leave my dreidel?
ImNotAnOrange
Pretty much play that game with every single christmas decoration at my parents house, they have 8 boxes of stuff but use about 2 max
negasomething
*sung like killing me softly* Where do we keep the menorah?
bunnyandbear
Followed soon by the traditional Where is the Chinese Restaurant Menu?
bunnyandbear
Yes, everything pork free.

And then when you find it: "I thought you were going to clean out the wax before putting it away!"
Exileddude
Yall can't just slide down to HebrewsR.Us?
reallynotmikepence
Christians are going through, 'How the hell did these lights get so damn tangled. I didn't put them in the box that way?!'
raydnjames
Seriously, one of the best things i bought were the spools and bag to hold christmas lights. They come off the roll so nice each year.
raydnjames
I have 4 of them now. Don't know why i waited so long before getting them.
Imgerruinedimger
You gotta step up your light putting away game. I use a wooden dowel and a zip tie for each strip. Easy peezy.

And how do we correctly spell Hannukah?

Let's have a party, we'll all dance Lahoré

"I thought you put it away."- Everybody.
ForcesOfEvil
"Put it away now" - red hot chili peppers
Zombieemperor
I thought it was that or up on a shelf with the fancy china?
madeejit
There was a Menorah to be put away. Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it...
madeejit
...Somebody got mad, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody didn't do...
madeejit
...it. so Everybody got mad at Somebody, 'cause Nobody did a job that Anybody could have done.
3RsReadingRitingRithmatic
I'm in the "did I lose it in the move" stage
TheLeanWolf
Sounds a lot like "Where did we put the christmas lights?"
Starfury42
I know we have an extension cord for the lights!
pork4brains
Some things are universal
pocketpython
Usually in a large ball of plastic and wires like hosepipe (no matter how carefully coiled will unknot and tie the bikes to the mower)
raydnjames
My wife has a, i guess, closet full of our Christmas stuff. does make it easier to find everything the next year.
zenoshogun
Wouldn't you be looking for the hanukiah about now instead?
erbiumyttriumytterbium
That's an informal name. It's really a menorah.
realizedagain
Okay everyone, remember Christians think this holiday is a big deal for us so just go along with that.
newsguycraigevans
Hanukkah Harry would be disappointed to hear you say that
Volimar
As would the holiday armadillo.
SeeShark
It's kind of a big deal from a cultural/family perspective. Certainly not religiously significant, but a big gathering/party.
CreatureFromtheBlackLegume
Just like Christmas. Easter's the real religious holiday
realizedagain
No, not really similar. Christmas was an important Christian holiday historically, just not as big as Easter, and it's become legitimately/
realizedagain
/important to modern Christians. Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkoth are all more important than Hannukah.
Trollero
But they were, all of them, deceived, for another holiday was made
WowSoSparkly
because of the chocolate
BoofBoofPass
Because of fat tuesday
realizedagain
Well yeah, but it'd still be Christmas break without it, kids would come home from school.

Remember: "One for EACH night." Don't light them all on the first night & sleep for a week.

Sniop don't even do that much in one day lol, think he mentioned it when comparing with another dude who smoked more than him

Just the brunch

I'm a bit hazy on the details but isn't this one short?
FullTimeDisaster
It's missing the shamash which is also supposed to be higher (heh) on a hanukkiyah than the others
NZSheeps
You don't think they came up with that idea without drugs being involved?
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
So technically, the shemash is the "worker candle" that is used to light the others. In this case, I'd count it as the base stem.
erbiumyttriumytterbium
Also, it satisfies the rabbis, because you're not supposed to use the Chanukah candles to light the room. So the interpretation is that
erbiumyttriumytterbium
the shamash is lighting the room and the other 8 are there for show.
erbiumyttriumytterbium
Actually, Jews throughout the country are trying to understand what time they have to light the candles, which order2>
erbiumyttriumytterbium
which blessings for first night, and why the latkes always fall apart.
minipancho94
made latkes for the first time for a jewish friend and holy shit they're so fucking good and easy to make. worst part is squeezing them out.
ScorpionSage
Put them in a strainer over a bowl, makes it way easier
minipancho94
i use a clean dishtowel and just twist and squeeze. works great but takes a lot of effort and laundry is a pain in the ass at my current apt
ScorpionSage
Oh hun you’re making your latkes wrong
erbiumyttriumytterbium
Probably. I'm lazy about it. What's your method?
ScorpionSage
Food processor to shred. Sautéed shallots, egg, gf flour, salt, pepper. Squeeze as you go, fry low heat so they really crisp b4 flipping
astrangehop
Mouli-julienne. Potatoes, carrots, onion squeeze, drain. Pepper, salt, flour, a little egg. Then I press 'em again and deep fry.
astrangehop
The 1960s French tech isn't essential, but it all holds together bette in long matchsticks. Disc shredder of any sort, or maybe a mandoline
