Kinda funny Hanukkah cookie story lol:

Last year, I was SO proud of our local grocery! In an unprecedented show of inclusion, it decided to carry and feature a small selection of Hanukkah and Kwaanza cookies alongside the Christmas ones. One day, as I walked into the store, one of the employees called me over (she and I had been friendly for years). She told me that a woman had come in, seen the display and indignantly called over the manager, whom she proceeded to ream for DARING to offer Hanukkah and Kwaanza cookies in this town’s store! Can you IMAGINE? Not being able to quietly reach past those and grab the ones she wanted without making a scene?

So…I went to the display and picked up several boxes of both Hanukkah and Kwaanza cookies, and then I had the manager called over. I told him how appreciative I was to have these available in the store. He looked TOTALLY puizzled!! He said, “Wow, that’s weird, 'casue just yesterday, someone was COMPLAINING about them!!!” ROFLMAO
