The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming: A Christmas Story

A latke escapes from a frying pan on Christmas Eve and sets off through the night, encountering a Christmas tree, a string of lights, and other holiday decorations. As the latke explains Hanukkah and its traditions, the encounters reveal how the characters understand the holiday and their place in it. The story uses the contrast between Hanukkah and Christmas to explore belonging, identity, and the meaning of celebration.
