Jews To Hang Out With On Christmas

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Unless, like me, you're Jewish. Then, it's the "hey, let's get Chinese food and see a movie" time of the year. But you know what could make it wonderful? Having the chance to hang out with these awesome fictional Jews on xmas!


This isn't a "war on Christmas" but instead a humble suggestion. This year find out what it's like to be Jewish. Toss aside the Christmas traditions. Don't have a tree with an endless base of gifts. And most importantly, don't leave Santa any cookies. Seriously, the guy has been trying to go on a diet for years, but you all keep acting like enablers and leaving him delicious and fattening chocolate chip cookies. Call your closest Jewish friend (come on, you know you have one) and spend the holiday with them. You'll enjoy some P.F. Chang's and catch a movie or two. Sounds good, right? Surely that beats the option of getting a massive amount of presents.... right? On second thought, as good as P.F. Chang's may be, it sounds like this whole Christmas gig is the better deal. No offense to your Jewish buddy, but we're betting the whole being showered with presents experience is a little better. However, there are some fictional Jews who would be a blast to hang out with on Christmas...

The Thing

It's kosherin' time! The ever lovin' blue eyed Thing would be a blast to hang out with. He's easy to get along with, enjoys poker, and has access to all of Reed's awesome technology that's locked away in the Baxter Building. So give Ben Grimm a call this Christmas and become an honorary member of the Fantastic Four.

Saul Silver

I'm not 100% certain if Saul Silver from Pineapple Express is Jewish, but based on the name and a few other remarks, it seems likely. It's impossible to hate Saul. Impossible I say! The hilariously stupid stoner with a heart of gold would be dropping ridiculously funny remarks all day for you to enjoy. Plus, if you're into a certain...green...hobby, I'm sure you'd have an especially good time with him.

Walter Sobchak

Do you like bowling and friends who just don't give a damn? Then Walter Sobchak is your man. Just don't chime in late during a conversation or else you'll get his legendary "shut the f*ck up, reader!" remark. Actually, go for it. To hear that in person would be priceless.

Mort Goldman

The animated Mort Goldman is more-or-less the complete stereotype we Jews tend to face. But it's exactly that reason why he'd be fun to hang out with... albeit for a short period of time. We all love some stereotypical humor every now and then, and Mort always delivers in that regard.

Moon Knight

One of my favorite Marvel heroes, Moon Knight has a lot to offer. First of all, he's loaded and has access to tons of items you'd want to play with. Go for a ride in the mooncopter, learn how to box, or just talk about all of the crazy (literally) stuff he's experienced. Plus, his current mental condition means you'll potentially get to hang out with Spider-Man, Captain America and Wolverine, too.
