SNL’s Christmastime for the Jews

Nothing says Old Timey Christmas more than claymation and this now classic video clip has that in droves. First shown on Saturday Nighjt Live, Christmas Time for the Jews is a vignette of modern American Jewish life with it’s traditions bastardized by the vagaries of Diaspora life – Chinese food on Christmas eve because that was all that was open. Of course now, depending on where you live, there are endless options for a Jewy X-Mas, but it’s still nice to see how it used to be.
