"The Golem"
Ichabod …
... doesn’t understand celebrating the Yule with lumber. In 1781, it wasn’t “eggnog,” it was “egg and grog.”
... is confused by the changes in language. In his day, a “toilet” was a vanity cabinet, “intercourse” meant social conversation, and ”awful” meant awe-inspiring.
... is startled by a funhouse mirror. (“What hellish form of torment is this?”)
... doesn’t get Christmas stockings. (“You embroidered my name on some oversize hosiery. How odd.”)
"The Vessel"
Ichabod …
... can’t get used to skinny jeans, which he refers to as “constrictive trouser.”
... doesn’t know what dry-cleaning is.
... doesn’t know why women have to own so much clothing

"Blood Moon"
Ichabod …
... is fascinated by a lamp’s on/off switch.
... is stunned by the water pressure in a shower.
... is amazed by a hair dryer.
... is amazed by a coffee maker.
... is freaked out while watching Planet of the Apes on a television.
... doesn’t want a doughnut hole but loves it when he tries it.
... is shocked that the doughnut holes cost $4.95 (and he’s really shocked by the tax).
... is curious about fluorescent lights.
... fires one bullet and tosses a gun because he doesn’t know present-day guns hold more than one shot.
