“The Hanukkah Story” was not just a beautiful demonstration of faith and love, but also a shining testament to Drescher’s activism for her character and her community. As it had turned out, the gas that had been in their car - which was only enough to last one hour - lasted for eight hours. This is a sitcom, not a drama, so of course, Max, Gracie and C.C. After hearing about Fran’s worries for her family, the nun offers to pray together with Fran in a touching moment of interfaith solidarity. As we see Fran struggle with this anxiety about what happened to her family, a nun stops by her house. Things take a turn for the worse when she learns that their car veered off the road during one of the worst snow storms of the season.
Naturally, Fran is devasted because, as she says, she wants to “continue the traditions that was raised with.” and Gracie on the first night of Hanukkah. The episode begins with Fran making latkes and jokingly responds to the question of why Jewish holidays start at sunset by saying, “Well, that’s because God realized that before 5 o’clock, to wear sequins is gauche.” Unfortunately, her beloved husband Max acts like a putz and mistakenly makes business plans to drive to Boston with C.C.
the candles from the menorah set the flocking on fire and the flumes put my father into the emergency room.”īut nothing compares to “The Hanukkah Story” (season 6, episode 10), marking the first time that Fran celebrates her first Hanukkah as a married woman with her new family. Of course, while celebrating Christmas with the Sheffield family, Fran never misses a moment to talk about Hannukah, with epic lines such as, “One year we begged my mother for a Christmas tree.
In “Oy to the World” (season 3, episode 14) she enjoys the non-denominational parts of Christmas, such as good-will and generosity, while still bringing her Jewish flair, stating, “You’re making me all verklempt!” when she sees her charge, Brighton, giving out toys to kids or joking about Jewish reindeer. In “The Christmas Show” (season 1, episode 8) Fran has a positive attitude towards the holiday, stating, “To be part of a real Christmas is a dream come true.” While some Jews tend to distance themselves from this holiday, others grew up with some form of “Christmas envy” here, Fran appreciates it from a secular perspective. Before this episode aired, we saw Fran celebrate Christmas with the Sheffields, the wealth, Waspy family that she’s a live-in nanny for, many times.
