Quote from Murray in We Didn't Start the Fire
Beverly: Damn it! Quick, grab your pants. The Schwartzes are clearly making a play to take Hanukkah! Murray: Who's doing what now? Beverly: Murray, it is crucial that we establish ourselves as the fun parents who host all the holidays. That way, if Geoff and Erica ever get married, they come to us. Not those bastards. Us. Murray: Okay, I'm hearing a lot of worry about things far in the future that I don't care about. Beverly: Oh, you better care! Hanukkah is a gateway holiday. If they take that, then they take Thanksgiving, then the 4th of July, then we're left with some crap holiday, like Labor Day. Murray: What's wrong with Labor Day? It's quiet and we eat hot dogs.
