When Uncle Schecky's family gets together, it's arguing this, shouting that, all day long. Of course, on Channukah the shouting is supposed to stop, but this year it's louder than ever, and all over nothing. But when Uncle Schecky, in frustration, throws a latke out the window, who knew it would end up being mistaken for a UFO and get shot down by the FBI? And who could predict that the whole family would end up shut into the house for eight days and nights, with nothing to eat but a plate of latkes? Uncle Shecky's story mirrors that of the original Chennukah in this broad and funny story.
