"Mad Libs": the Hanukkah Edition

  
       Mad Libs books have been out for years:   brief stories with blank spaces for you to fill in words.  But you don't know the STORY till you read it with your created words now filled in.  My sample.

                      CELEBRATING THE JEWISH HOLIDAYS 101

We all know how to celebrate Hanukkah, but other holidays?  Well, on Tu B'Shevat, we celebrate by planting a participle in the ground.  On Passover we have a special meal called a Seder, which means "Duck."  Someone hides the furnace, and all the kids try to find it at the end of the Seder.  On Sukkot we build a glove outside and then crack up in it for 17 days.  There are many more holidays, but one of the most furtive is Shavuot.  That's when we stay up and curse all night long.
