Quote from Beverly in A Christmas Story
Pops: What is the story? I mean, obviously, there's a rich cultural significance. Otherwise, why would you do this to me? Beverly: Well, the Maccabees only had enough oil for one night, and it was a miracle. And another miracle Was the finding of the bush in the temple basement. And they decorated it with Festive tchotchkes. Pops: So interesting. Where'd they find the tchotchkes? Beverly: In their pockets. Tchotchke pockets. They were potchkes.
