The scene: Monday morning at Canada Customs in Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. I have just stepped off my flight from Boston.
Me: Good morning.
Customs officer: Good Morning. Where are you coming from today?
Me: Boston.
Customs officer: And the reason for your trip to Boston?
Me: Visiting the fiancee and future in-laws.
Customs officer: Congratulations!
Me: Thank you.
Customs officer: I see you’ve declared $150 — are those gifts?
Me: Yes — they’re Chanukah presents.
Customs officer: (Does a double-take, looks at me again.)
Me: What, don’t I look Jewish?

You’ve got to hear The Klezmonauts do Christmas standards! It’s brilliant! The CD is called, Oy To The World! My mom found a copy at Daiter’s on Eglinton but they have a website http://www.klezmonauts.com. It’s on Styrofone Records, distributed by K-Tel International (remember them?)
Enj(oy)!
