Here Come the Chanukah Videos: The Rugrats "Miracle of Chanukah"

Have you checked your calendar lately? We just realized that the first night of Chanukah is next Sunday night. This year the eight-day holiday starts on December 2 so we'd better check our candle supply and start shopping for gifts for the kids.

There are only seven more days until Chanukah begins, and we'll try to fill them with appropriate videos. There'll be a combination of new music videos and flashbacks to old TV shows and movies that had a Chanukah theme.

We'll start with a flashback to a video clip of Miracle of Chanukah from The Rugrats episode A Rugrats Chanukah. This is a special episode of Nickelodeon's animated television series Rugrats. The first episode of the show's fourth season and the sixty-sixth overall, it tells the story of the Jewish holiday Chanukah through the eyes of the Rugrats, who imagine themselves as the main characters. 

Meanwhile, Grandpa Boris and his long-time rival, Shlomo, feud over who will play the lead in the local synagogue's Chanukah play. Since most American children's television programs have Christmas specials, this was the first Chanukah episode of a children's television series.

Enjoy!
