Two treats:

Your first treat for day two of Chanukah: Last year I posted a link to a modest little video on YouTube called "Chinese Food on Christmas": just a guy at a piano, singing. Looks like the artist made an actual music video that's pretty entertaining, if a little obvious. For today I give you Chinese Food on Christmas.

Your second treat for day two is actually something you're probably all aware of but it gives me a kick. Little did my friend of mumbledy-mumble years, [livejournal.com profile] nancykayshapiro (a.k.a. [livejournal.com profile] herself_nyc), suspect that when she posted pictures of Chanukah ham on her public journal she'd get a call from The Daily News about it. She's now achieved her fifteen minutes of fame.

You've gone national, girlfriend. I heard the story on NPR this morning. :)

And more national coverage, this time on MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22147407/

The only thing that could entertain me more about this whole thing is fi the incident turned up on this week's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me (http://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/)."

Within half a day of your posting this, I got an e-mail from Kat about it.

I was on that thread. I thought it was pretty funny.

*laughs at video*

Funny thing is, for your second treat, I already saw the photo on a friend's livejournal. She's in Japan. XD

The first is very cute.

The second was amusing. The closest I've come to that sort of thing was when I posted this (http://steve98052.livejournal.com/103803.html) (which you commented on), and someone at the newspaper e-mailed me to comment. No article though.
