Why I Love Jewish People

Jewish people are always bragging about how their holidays are all about hard partying and getting drunk. "Oh man - Purim is all about just eating a ton of food and getting shitfaced!" Which makes sense, because unlike the rest of us, Jewish families don't have that token alcoholic aunt or cousin that they can't let around booze or she'll go get drunk and start crying and picking fights. And also their parents are chill liberals who like dancing and Frank Sinatra and let their kids have wine on special occasions.

And like, I get it - years of not getting to celebrate Christmas must lay a serious headtrip on a person, and they'll go to lengths to find ways to enjoy life without Santa Claus. Your family is always going to be a bunch of weirdos you can't relate to, so at least they might as well be nerds who like to party. Admit it, if this was your "crazy uncle", you'd be psyched. Unlike the standard child molester or incarcerated or deadbeat uncle, the weirdest thing he's doing is wearing a Periodic Table shirt and making goofy faces.

Mazel Tov and party on, my Jewish amigos.



Full disclosure: I found this pic by searching Flickr for "Nate Martin".
