MIDDLETON, Wis. Every family has their own holiday traditions that are practiced, and enjoyed, year after year. From finding the best tree, decorating the house, and baking all those Christmas goodies, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. But if you’re one of those waiting until the last minute to get those things done, there are some holiday hacks to make.
I had a friend named Bob Zonka, who ran a weekly newspaper in Michigan. He refused to listen to any kind of ethnic joke. "When you diminish anyone," he said, "you diminish me, and you diminish yourself." His rule even applied to "funny" ethnic jokes that weren't intended as racist - the kinds that people think it's OK to tell. "If it's that funny," he said, "change the words 'Jewish' or 'Polish' to 'Canadian,' and see if it's still so funny." There's this Canadian guy, see, who.I got his point. And I remembered Bob when I was watching "School Ties," a movie about a Jewish kid from Scranton who gets a scholarship to a WASP prep school in New England. He's a senior when he goes there. He's been recruited because he is a terrific quarterback, and the school alumni want a winning season so bad they'll do anything to get one.
