The CHH Holiday Reading List
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! Here's some stuff to read on your PRECIOUS PHONE
First of all, for all my fellow half-Jews, today is both Christmas Eve and Hanukkah Eve, and I feel like we need a special word for that. Unfortunately, the language with the most “special words for things in no other language” appears to be German, so maybe we’ll pass.
Anyway, as a highly holidaypilled individual, I will be taking a few days off of publishing articles. But I did want to compile some of my best articles, some free, some of which you might have missed if you’re new, in case you find yourself with some precious Phone Time on this blessed combo holiday.
