KEY POINTS
- â˘Holly Rizzuto Palker confronted her 11-year-old not believing in Santa last December, igniting holiday anxiety.
- â˘To keep the Christmas spirit alive, Holly introduced karaoke and served an Italian feast of seven fishes without gefilte fish.
- â˘Her family, including Jewish relatives, embraced this new tradition, with memorable performances at their Christmas Eve party.
In a heart-melting tale of holiday survival, Holly Rizzuto Palker, an Italian Catholic raising Jewish kids in NYC, faced the soul-crushing moment when her 11-year-old stopped believing in Santa last December. With a Christmas Eve magic meter dropping faster than her downward-facing face at age 50, she launched a karaoke rescue mission. High off her 50th birthday vocal vibrations at Baby Grand karaoke barâbecause nothing screams milestone like off-tune 'Me and Bobby McGee'âshe Amazon-primed a karaoke machine to save the festa featuring seven fishes (but mercifully no gefilte fish). As her cousins nervously awaited the Italian-Jewish mashup, the house erupted in ironic 'Sweet Caroline' harmony, belted not out of talent but sheer desperate joy.
