W

ith Chanukah
approaching, the U.S.
Postal Service may
have just made send-
ing gifts more satisfying by issuing
its new Chanukah Stamp.
With apologies to David
Letterman and his famous Top 10
lists, we offer the Top 8 Reasons for
using the new stamp.

#8. How interesting it is that this is
only the second time a Jewish holi-
day has been mentioned on a U.S.
stamp issue. It's not quite the mira-
cle of 164 B.C.E., but it's not bad for
2004.

#7. Use your Rosh Hashanah card
list a second time this year. Send out
Chanukah cards to everybody on
your list.

#6. No worries about licking any
treif ingredients in the stamp glue;
these stamps are self-adhesive.

•

#5. Unbelievably, the cost is a mere
37 cents, which can deliver a card
across the street or all the way to the
self-proclaimed "Frozen Chosen"
Jews in Fairbanks, Alaska. A real
seasonal bargain!

#4. Keeping in touch by mail is still
more enjoyable than sending and
receiving impersonal e-mail mes-
sages.

**************

#3. Knowing a colorful dreidel
adorns the stamp can brighten up
any stack of mail and cheer the
recipient.

#2. After Chanukah, imagine how
your gentile friends will become
more sensitive to the possibility that
using Madonna and Child stamps on
their cards to you may not have
been "kosher."

#1. How wonderful finally to be able
to answer the question of why to
use the stamp with the common
Jewish saying, "Why not?"
