Celebrating Hanukah and Christmas has been a tradition of ours since we were married (Max is Jewish). We’ve created our own celebration by blending the two - “a little Hanukah with a lot of Christmas” and “a little Easter with a lot of Passover”. Getting a tree that first Christmas was a major adjustment for Max, so we opted for topping the tree with a plastic “Big Boy” bank. “Big Boy” has been with Max since college, he fits right in with the eclectic mix of “happy meal toys”, crafts, and ornaments that decorate our tree, and he has no known religious affiliations – perfect! Food has also started “blending” – we make potato latkes one night (family tradition for Max) and recently started making Loukamades (Greek beignets fried in oil) on another night to bring in something from my heritage.
