The best part of being a Jew on Christmas is getting woken up in the middle of the night by Santa for him to remind you that you don’t get presents because you are a Jew. You go back to sleep and then wake up only to realize that you forgot to go grocery shopping, nothing is open, and you have terrible options for breakfast. You then experience an existential crisis wondering if you belong in society. You then see people post pictures of their families at the movies with the caption, “Happy Chinese Food and a Movie Day,” and decide going to the movies is the last thing you want to do. You end up binge-watching, ‘The Office,’ and eat all of the random snacks that you bought two months ago and never got around to eating because you continue to buy unhealthier snacks that are much more enjoyable.
