00:00:00.084 --> 00:00:01.895
- Breaking that rule a little bit.
- Never in my life have I been

00:00:01.895 --> 00:00:03.381
invited to somebody's Christmas.

00:00:03.381 --> 00:00:06.091
- Well that to me says your a bad friend.
- Never in my life.

00:00:06.091 --> 00:00:07.759
- And they don't want you at their party.

00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:10.595
- [Voiceover] You are living
in some sort of fantasy.

00:00:11.221 --> 00:00:15.225
- Ah...Christmas. The presents,
the family, the feasts.

00:00:15.225 --> 00:00:18.733
The hustle and bustle, what
a trip. But is it wort it?

00:00:18.733 --> 00:00:21.523
Because I recently heard
tell of Jewish Christmas

00:00:21.523 --> 00:00:24.144
and I've got to be honest,
they may be onto something.

00:00:24.144 --> 00:00:27.445
Christmas vs. Jewish
Christmas, it's debatable.

00:00:27.445 --> 00:00:32.445
(regal music)

00:00:33.893 --> 00:00:35.754
- I'm a Jew but I'm pro Christmas.

00:00:35.754 --> 00:00:38.032
- I'm arguing for Jewish Christmas.

00:00:38.032 --> 00:00:40.042
- Christmas Christmas will always win.

00:00:40.042 --> 00:00:41.876
- There's a fair
comparison, but I'd go for

00:00:41.876 --> 00:00:43.170
Jewish Christmas if I had to pick.

00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:45.004
- Good old fashion regular Christmas.

00:00:45.004 --> 00:00:47.883
- I'm team Jewish Christmas
and my opponent is a traitor

00:00:47.883 --> 00:00:49.434
to her own kind.

00:00:49.444 --> 00:00:51.094
(triumphant music)

00:00:51.094 --> 00:00:53.338
- It's a day of movie
marathons. You know what movies

00:00:53.338 --> 00:00:55.140
come out at Christmas? The best movies.

00:00:55.140 --> 00:00:57.809
While Christians are busy
hanging out with their families

00:00:57.809 --> 00:01:00.478
forced to hand out and do
family shit, I'm gonna be seeing

00:01:00.478 --> 00:01:01.730
"Star Wars" for the third time.

00:01:01.730 --> 00:01:04.691
- Have you ever gone to a
Chinese restaurant on Christmas

00:01:04.691 --> 00:01:08.903
as a Jewish person? Hours
of wait. Really angry Jews.

00:01:08.903 --> 00:01:11.864
It's every single person
with nowhere to go taking up

00:01:11.864 --> 00:01:13.909
so much space, so much time.

00:01:13.909 --> 00:01:16.624
- Sounds like you're at the
wrong Chinese restaurant

00:01:16.624 --> 00:01:17.745
with the wrong Jews.

00:01:17.745 --> 00:01:19.039
- Christmas is one of those holidays

00:01:19.039 --> 00:01:22.102
that you always have to go
see your distant relatives.

00:01:22.102 --> 00:01:24.762
Every year it's something
different, How's college going?

00:01:24.762 --> 00:01:26.713
Oh, you're graduating. What's your plan.

00:01:26.713 --> 00:01:28.923
- I'm excited to eat all
this Chinese food right here.

00:01:28.923 --> 00:01:30.592
Chow Mein, Orange Chicken.

00:01:30.592 --> 00:01:32.302
- Nothing says like, this festive,

00:01:32.302 --> 00:01:35.179
like food you would
order to your dorm room.

00:01:35.179 --> 00:01:37.925
- I got to Malibu in 20 minutes.

00:01:37.925 --> 00:01:39.800
I went with a few friends,
guess who was on the beach.

00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:41.435
Nobody, except for us.

00:01:41.435 --> 00:01:44.606
- There is no traffic in L.A. on Christmas
- It's amazing.

00:01:44.606 --> 00:01:47.567
You can drive wherever you
want Just for the fuck of it.

00:01:47.567 --> 00:01:49.986
- The majority of Jews are not in L.A.

00:01:49.986 --> 00:01:51.835
Their all, I'm a good old suburban Jew.
- Their all over the place.

00:01:51.835 --> 00:01:53.699
- I'm a good old suburban Jew.
- The open road's everywhere.

00:01:53.699 --> 00:01:55.959
- And there's fucking nothing to do there.

00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.910
- Chinese foods a lot
better than Christmas food.

00:01:57.910 --> 00:01:59.747
Like I would take Lo Mein over

00:01:59.747 --> 00:02:03.541
this stupid ass snowman any
day. - You think this looks
worse than a fortune cookie.

00:02:03.541 --> 00:02:04.626
Are you crazy?

00:02:04.626 --> 00:02:06.791
- Eating dinner at 3pm just because

00:02:06.791 --> 00:02:09.422
it's a holiday is absolutely absurd.

00:02:09.422 --> 00:02:11.633
By 5 o'clock, when I
should be having dinner,

00:02:11.633 --> 00:02:13.043
I'm already hungry again.

00:02:13.043 --> 00:02:14.719
- That's because she CrossFits.
- It's just absolutely redic...

00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.840
No, that's not because I CrossFit.
(shouting) - That's because she CrossFits.

00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.016
Cause she CrossFits. Shhh. -
[girl with glasses}] It's because
people shouldn't eat dinner

00:02:19.016 --> 00:02:21.101
at 3pm in the afternoon, Taylor.

00:02:21.101 --> 00:02:23.853
- The actual reality of
Jewish Christmas is you

00:02:23.853 --> 00:02:26.647
have to all agree on a
movie with your family.

00:02:26.647 --> 00:02:28.317
With your family's friends.
- False, false.

00:02:28.317 --> 00:02:29.484
- Yes, all have to go to the

00:02:29.484 --> 00:02:32.328
I saw Benjamin Button in the
theater, Benjamin Button I saw.

00:02:32.328 --> 00:02:34.860
(triumphant music)

00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:35.823
Look what we have here.

00:02:35.823 --> 00:02:38.452
We have some box...these are empty.

00:02:38.452 --> 00:02:39.660
There's not even anything in here.

00:02:39.660 --> 00:02:41.455
Which I think, you know,
represents Jewish Christmas

00:02:41.455 --> 00:02:43.539
is that it's empty of emotion.

00:02:43.539 --> 00:02:45.334
- I've done Jewish Christmas and

00:02:45.334 --> 00:02:47.043
I've done Christmas Christmas.

00:02:47.043 --> 00:02:49.545
Once you go Christmas you never go back.

00:02:49.545 --> 00:02:52.168
- Christmas day comes, boom, you wake up.

00:02:52.168 --> 00:02:53.667
You're stoked. You're in your PJs.

00:02:53.667 --> 00:02:55.551
Your family's all gathered
in the living room

00:02:55.551 --> 00:02:57.011
and it's, it's beautiful.

00:02:57.011 --> 00:02:58.923
- Look at these cute ass snowmen.

00:02:58.923 --> 00:03:02.434
Look, at these, beautiful, gorgeous.
(man laughing)

00:03:02.434 --> 00:03:04.853
- Like, what time of year
is it totally excusable,

00:03:04.853 --> 00:03:08.599
other than Christmas, to just
eat all this and it's okay.

00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.817
And you can gain weight cause you're
layering your clothes. - Thanksgiving.

00:03:11.817 --> 00:03:14.070
- We're having so much fun
cause we love Christmas.

00:03:14.070 --> 00:03:15.203
- They look Jewish.

00:03:15.203 --> 00:03:18.074
- Do you want white rice
or do you want cookies?

00:03:18.074 --> 00:03:20.242
Do you want to make a gingerbread house?

00:03:20.242 --> 00:03:22.290
Do you want everything
to smell like cinnamon

00:03:22.290 --> 00:03:23.579
and open presents?

00:03:23.579 --> 00:03:25.919
- I'm happy that I can
participate in Christmas

00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.378
because of my like, duel
citizenship in the religion world

00:03:29.378 --> 00:03:31.629
you know. You know like...
- Yeah, but that's, yeah, but that's it.

00:03:31.629 --> 00:03:33.180
You get to be selective about the parts

00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:35.333
of Christmas you celebrate.

00:03:35.333 --> 00:03:36.718
- I'm just saying.
- You don't have to do

00:03:36.718 --> 00:03:38.678
the whole shebang, you know what I mean?

00:03:38.678 --> 00:03:40.513
- You know, I use to wake up and think

00:03:40.513 --> 00:03:44.309
maybe Santa made a mistake
and maybe he gave me presents

00:03:44.309 --> 00:03:46.686
this year and you know what, he never did.

00:03:46.686 --> 00:03:48.563
- [Voiceover] He never did.
- He never, Santa doesn't make mistakes.

00:03:48.563 --> 00:03:50.982
- That's right you're Jewish,
you've never experieneced

00:03:50.982 --> 00:03:54.986
Christmas Christmas. And in fact this...
- Yeah, that's why I want it so badly.

00:03:54.986 --> 00:03:57.030
- I hated Christmas before my
parents got divorced, okay.

00:03:57.030 --> 00:04:00.658
(both laughing)
- This got so real.

00:04:00.658 --> 00:04:03.013
- When it's Christmas Christmas
there's this mentality of

00:04:03.013 --> 00:04:04.121
this day has to be great.

00:04:04.121 --> 00:04:06.081
- No there's not. (laughing) - [Voiceover]
So everything's just, things get higher.

00:04:06.081 --> 00:04:08.199
- I've been to people's houses like after

00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:09.578
their whole Christmas thing and their like

00:04:09.578 --> 00:04:10.920
this is what I got, I
got this, I got this.

00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:13.839
There's wrapping paper
everywhere, the fire is blazing,

00:04:13.839 --> 00:04:15.882
there's just a sense of warmth.

00:04:15.882 --> 00:04:17.425
Movie theaters are cold.

00:04:17.425 --> 00:04:19.886
Movie theaters are cold and
their playing Benjamin Button.

00:04:19.886 --> 00:04:22.806
(jubilant music)

00:04:22.806 --> 00:04:24.967
- Christmas, don't knock
it till you've tried it.

00:04:24.967 --> 00:04:27.019
From a girl with the last name Levine.

00:04:27.019 --> 00:04:29.562
- The actual spirit of Christmas
has been completely lost

00:04:29.562 --> 00:04:31.481
and I stand firm in my belief that

00:04:31.481 --> 00:04:32.940
it is better to be Jewish on Christmas.

00:04:32.940 --> 00:04:34.600
- Shut up, Christmas is the best.

00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.652
Coming from a Jew, it's the best.

00:04:36.652 --> 00:04:40.073
- I'm just here to promote
today the idea that

00:04:40.073 --> 00:04:42.575
Jew have it pretty good too, also
that I hate Santa. - Mozel tov.

00:04:42.575 --> 00:04:46.371
(triumphant music)

00:04:46.371 --> 00:04:49.104
- I'm so mad I'm gonna flip this
tray of cookies. (man laughing)

00:04:49.104 --> 00:04:50.394
- Hey, hey. (shouting)

00:04:50.394 --> 00:04:53.503
(triumphant music concludes)
