Sick of spending Dec. 25 watching your WASPy-ass friends parade around in new Christmas digs and brag about the Nano that just happened to be sitting at the bottom of their stocking? Quash those green eyes, bubeleh: the Chabad Lubavitch of Chester County and the Main Line has got your back. This year, Rabbi Moshe Brennan wants you to skip the popular Chinese-and-a-movie ritual and bring the fam to his annual Chanukah on Ice party. There'll be skating and hot chocolate, Jewish music and traditional Hanukkah songs pumping on the stereo, a table where kids can make their own menorah candles and armloads of free gelt. The Festival of Lights really starts rolling when a crew of chain saw-wielding lumberjack-types carve a giant menorah out of a miniature iceberg. Eat that, Santa.
Chanukah on Ice, Sun., Dec. 25, 4-6 p.m., $10 (includes skate rental), Haverford Skatium, 1010 Darby Rd., Havertown, 610-660-9192.
