It’s Hanukkah season and for those of you who celebrate, I’m sure you’re going to appreciate these jokes from parents about this special holiday.
Let’s get started!
1. Created a monster.
I don’t think the architects of Hanukkah considered the long term psychological effects of giving a toddler a present every night. For eight consecutive nights.
We’ve got a monster on our hands.

2. Eight days to go…
A parent's Hanukkah miracle is having barely enough patience to survive one night of a holiday that involves open flames, yet somehow making it through eight of them.

3. Interesting…
Dad, do we celebrate Hanukkah?
"No, honey that's a Jewish holiday."
My friend Jake celebrates it but he's not Jewish, he's a vegetarian.— Tim (@Playing_Dad) December 3, 2014
4. Uh oh…
6yo just decorated a cardboard menorah my mum gave him for Chanukah.
There was glitter.
My mum and I are no longer on speaking terms.

5. The official mascot.
Our youngest said she’s learning about Hanukkah in school so I’ve been showing her pictures of the Hanukkah Armadillo so she can ask about it tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/IuH1tzjJy3

6. Good thinking.
My kids are a quarter Jewish, so they'll only get gifts on two nights of Hanukkah.

7. Yeah…
Kid: grandma and grandpa are coming for Hanukkah and bringing guilt.
Me: you mean gelt
Also me: yup.

8. That day is here.
Nothing and I mean NOTHING prepares you for the day your 10yo tells you he wants a ball warmer for Hanukkah.

9. A maddening pace.
My 9 y/o and 12 y/o are watching Elf while decorating Hanukkah cards for their grandparents. I want to see Will Ferrel play a Macabee in a Jewish remake. 🙏🏿🔥

10. It was only a dream…
Hanukkah Mom Nightmare: You wake up in a cold sweat thinking you only got each kid 7 gifts instead of 8. #KeepingTabsOn @Luvs @TheBlogU

13. Mother of the Year.
For a Hanukkah gift, I'm gonna assemble my son's birthday present from July.

14. Nobody’s perfect.
My 12 y/o just gave me a Hanukkah card. “You’re not perfect, but nobody is.” Thank you… 😂 🧡#HappyHanukkah pic.twitter.com/8Lx8YGQSiU

15. Lucky kid.
I guess Jesus was the first kid that got to celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas.
