Merry Chrismukkah!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Chrismukkah!

Chrismukkah is a pop-culture neologism referring to the merging of the holidays of Christmas and Hanukkah as celebrated in interfaith households where one parent may be of Christian heritage and another parent of Jewish heritage.  Or, from two Jewish parents, where one may not be religious at all (having a desire to put up a Christmas tree) while the other is very religious causing Christmas and Hanukkah to cancel each other out into one blur of a gift giving holiday.  The word itself is a portmanteau arisen through the blending of the words “Christmas” and “Hanukkah”.  Chrismukkah is also celebrated as an ironic, alternative holiday, much like the Seinfeld-derived “Festivus.”  (www.wikipedia.com)

I’m headed to Texas for the week(+end) and will be on a brief blog hiatus while in The Great State.  I hope everyone has a nice holiday!  Catch you on the flip side…
