Growing up, my best friend was Jewish, and I could always tell he was ever-so-slightly bummed as we’d break into Christmas carols that there was NO song celebrating the lights of Hanukkah. Luckily, that all changed on December 3, 1994, as Adam Sandler took to the stage on Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update,” encouraged all of us to “drink our gin and tonic-as, smoke our marijuani-kah,” and have a “happy happy happy happy Hanukkah” with this THROWBACK classic to celebrate the start of those 8 crazy nights tonight.

Happy Hanukkah to you and your family, and may we all celebrate with a true classic of the season.
