5:13 So based on what I know, the origin of Hanukkah is the story that Libby tells, and it goes that they only had enough oil to keep their lanterns lit for one day, but through a miracle, they managed to keep the lanterns going for eight days. This episode has a parallel to that, in that they only had enough fuel for one hour, but the generator ran for eight hours

it's Good that they have BOTH Hannukah and Christmas episodes of The Ghost and Molly McGee

Let's just take a second to appreciate that Libby's family seemed to be VERY close to getting caught up in a really REALLY dark time in history. Seriously, it's like universally accepted by the fandom that the fleeing was in response to Kristallnacht, and I don't really see another good explanation for the first part of the flashback.

Scratch enjoying the hug at the end🥰

Sometimes it blows me away how some shows like to reference some intense tales and events.

does anyone else feel like Scratch literally saving Christmas will come back to bite him at some point?

With that moment where Andrea agreed with Molly I was looking forward to seeing Molly, Andrea, and Libby work together to save Christmas while developing a better friendship (or just a mutual understanding of each other) that would be further developed in future episodes since Andrea has mostly just been the bully character up to that point, but instead the focus was mostly just on the dad and a Christmas Carol parody of Scratch. However, the Hanukkah episode was amazing and became one of my favorites.

man this is such a good representation of Chanukah! I typically see just a menorah in the corner of a house in shows and that's all the rep, I'm so glad they took the time to properly represent Chanukah!

I love Christmas carols in cartoons glad you mention Foster’s Bloo is my favorite character he kinda reminds me of Scratch

I haven't seen a Cartoon episode of a Hannukah episode since RugRats so it's been a long time a go

This episodes were great! Although the first one was way better for me, it was funnier and more interesting (I don't know a lot about jewish culture). The second one was a bit of a cliché imo, but still funny. I can't wait for this series to return! As you said, it doesn't need to have a large dark plot, this series is just colorful and cheering and funny and that's why I love it.

I used to be Jewish, so I would celebrate Hanukkah with Baklava and I'd spend my time playing dreidel.

4:43 I agree that was so sweet of him💙 its great that he considers it as a home after molly and he family moved in 💖 14:13 yeah seeing aundrea talking normally for once and hanving genuine sadness was kinda surprising for me

Great reaction! I kind of found this episode on the weaker side overall. In the first segment, I really enjoyed it, especially the hour 5 story from Libby, but I didn't really like what they did with Molly's character they made her look like she didn't even bother looking up anything about Hanukkah (haha different spelling), even tho one of her key character traits is being over prepared and over complicating things. In the second segment, I really like it as well, I really loved the way all the decorations just broke in a chain reaction, but I don't know it just didn't land that well for me, I can't even point to some specific point that isn't done well.

While I Don't Have Anything Against Those Who Ship Molly And Andrea, I Personally Find A Molly And Libby Ship More Realistic, Especially After What Andrea Did To Their Movie. I Get It, They Did Something Similar In The Owl House With Luz and Amity, Something I Ship Diehard! But At Least Amity Had Some Redeeming Qualities By This Point, So Far The Only Redeeming Quality Andrea Has Shown Is Agreeing With Molly About Her Dad Funding The Snowflake Celebration

I love hannukah

The ending was unexpected

Bruh why does Mr. Davenport looks like Elon Musk

The holiday variation of the theme actually gives off such a good feeling. I’m legit tearing up

4:34 im scared to think about what he could have done that time because he literally said he used asbestos for artificial snow😳 and he was just fine with singing that out loud and dumping it in front of everyone so what did he do that could be even worse to the point that he didnt want to tell anyone..

6:40 Fun fact: it's actually unknown how the ancient Hebrew people actually said the name יהוה (Yhwh) as the spelling seems unpronounceable and the real way to say it was lost to time. We usually just say Adonai which roughly means "eternal" or "my lord". For example, on Chanukah we say: "Blessed are you, Adonai, our god, king of the universe. You hallow us with your mitzvot and command us to kindle the lights of Chanukah."

I was under the impression that Jewish people did not use YHWH and instead used Adonai (lord) so as to not disrespect God by using his holy name

Hanukkah has always been a time I enjoyed. My childhood friend was raised Jewish and to my knowledge isn't a practicing Jew. Whenever he was with his mom for Hanukkah I would celebrate the holiday with them. Which was unfortunately only 3 times out of the 7 years I knew him. He would also celebrate Christmas with my mom my uncle and me. His father is Mormon so he would celebrate both holidays. And I loved how he saw Christmas from both viewpoints. As a Jew celebrating the birth of a Jewish man who claimed to be the son of the lord only to have him arrested and killed is kinda weird. But him also growing up in the Mormon church he understood the importance of Jesus. Jesus was a great man the son of God or not he did his best to help the people until he left this moral plane. And celebrating his birthday just for those reasons if you remove the Christian aspects makes a lot of sense. He also enjoyed it as a time where both sides of his family could be together and get along. His parents married and divorced during his first two years of life so growing up as both a Jew and a Mormon made him love both religions but also hate them as it caused tension between the two. So whenever they sat down for dinner on December 25th his Jewish family and his non Jewish family it made him happy. And btw this is how my jewish friend spells Hanukkah. So I apologize for not spelling it the "proper way". Even his great grandfather who fled Germany during the bad time spells it this way.

The coincedence that as soon as i finished the episode James posted this....

A lot of people ship Moly with Andrea but I ship her with Libby

Saw that BoJack horseman poster nice

נס גדול היה שם

Loved this episode how did you guys feel about the episode

1. 5:12- Yep. No hetero explanation. 2. 10:17- You know that Polly Plantar would approve of that as a trope:-D.

One of Our god is adonai

Could you please do arcane reaction?

Yo, I'm down to answer any Jewish questions yall may have. yes, we refer to God as God but in prayer, we use a nickname similar to Muslims, instead of Allah we use Adonai. it's a respect thing as we aren't supposed to think of him as 1 thing because he's everything.

Most of the Jewish people I’ve met just called God as God

I’ve been enjoying the show quite a bit as well! A few things have been hit or miss for me, but overall it’s been incredibly cute. And I have to agree-so far the lack of an overall story arc hasn’t been bothersome to me, because there’s still at least *continuity;* emotional connections are allowed to grow and have a history, and past events do at least sometimes have a lasting relevance. Those are the biggest things that I always miss in truly 100% episodic shows, so at least to me, it really feels like this show has managed to find a pretty effective sweet spot in between the two extremes. As for what long-term stuff *is* there… I’ll admit I’ve been genuinely concerned for Scratch’s safety with that occasionally-touched-on subplot with the ghost council, hah. It’s never quite prominent enough to be a full-blown story arc, admittedly. And so far it’s been played as way less of a pressing concern than I thought it would be based on how prominently they set it up in the first few episodes. But I *am* curious where that’s eventually going to go… At any rate-I’m glad I decided to give the show a try, heh. So once again, thanks for your videos, since they’re what brought it to my attention! And it’s always really fun to see your thoughts on the show. :D (It’s really awesome to hear that the creators seem to appreciate your videos as well!) Might have to wait a while before fully catching up with your videos from here, sadly. I'm watching on Disney+, which doesn''t seem to have the most recent stuff! (Edit: Fixed typos from writing this up on my phone, hah.)

with two shows on break are you going to start following an older show? are you looking for suggestion? Do you only watch new shows? or will you be taking a break? there are a few I could shout out depending on how old a show you want etc.

Dude do you remember moses told it about the name of the lord

We don’t call god YHWH, that would be in vain, we call him Hashem in prayers which literally means “the name” or Adonai which means “my master”, but barely ever YHWH since that is his true name according do tradition. During regular daily speech we call him god.

5:48 I'm not trying to ruin the moment but ... that for Jews talking to the dead or spirits is impossible and trying to do so is a huge sacrilege ? This is what Libby is practically doing now that she met Scracth

3:30 libby win play beyblade hanukaa
