Just in case you’ve missed the far-reaching influence of FOX’s over-hyped teen drama The O.C., an interfaith couple out of Montana has launched a line of holiday cards inspired by the fictional concept of Chrismukkah. With nearly half of all newly-married Jews hitched to non-Jewish spouses, such fitzing with tradition is borne of necessity, though Chrismukkah.com’s founders say it’s not meant to replace either holiday:
“One of Chrismukkah.com’s goals is to encourage awareness of Jewish identity and embracing of Jewish holiday traditions within interfaith families and among half-Jews.”
Jewish purists will certainly blanche at Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer wearing a menorah on his antlers, but really, isn’t hay better than nun?
