happy TREE NEW YEAR you fucks, go hug a tree

Thank u @oceanlalonde for indulging me in an hour-long telling of the story of Hanukkah over IM.

Ya know it's really interesting how much everyone's latched onto Jewish Rose of all characters. I'd say of everyone John is the one I'd say actually acts the most Jewish. Rose just...doesn't seem like the kind of person who grew up practicing (or at least strongly connected) to Judaism. Literally everything about John says Jewish Kid Who Grew Up In a Loving But Slightly Suffocating Jewish Home. But then again that may be cause I relate to John a fair amount. Plus I mean...he looks like me and therefore pretty damn Jewish. Anyway it's another pet peeve rather than a ~problematic~ thing that just because they lifted Rose in a chair everyone is pointing to Judaism. Which again...I really do like it especially cause it isn't as I guess stereotypical as John. But I mean John is the kind of kid who would not have been at all out of place at my Hebrew school. Once again again, a lot of people are real worried that I'm telling them to stop because they're being disrespectful which I am decidedly not! I just have a soft spot for John Egbertovich (Egbertstein?) and I'm surprised people don't talk about it more. And just cause Rose talked about ethnic people on chairs does not a Jewess make. But again, just preference.
