Christmas & Chanukah-who else does both?

[Nishi621]

We do both here. My hubby is Jewish and I am from a Jewish father/Christian mother and as an adult, became a Christian myself.

We do both and our kids love it! My little one gets 8 gifts for Chanukah and gets to light the menorah and then come Christmas time, presents there too and of course a Christmas tree. When my older son was younger we did the same thing-but, back then, it seemed there were less kids doing this.

So-who else is part of a mixed marriage and celebrates both holidays? Do your kids love it or do they find it confusing?

I don't celebrate both- but I know many who do!! As a kid, I always wanted to celebrate both and get lots of presents- go figure!

I just celebrate Christmas! But many friends celebrate both! They say it is fun, but my best friend said at the beginning she felt confused.

A good friend of mine just married a Jewish man and they are doing both this year but probably with focus on Chanukah for his kids' sake as they are being raised in the Jewish faith.

I have and had a low of Jewish friends growing up. I wish I got to do both.

My DH and I were driving around looking at Christmas lights tonight and passed a house with a Menorah in one window and a Christmas tree in another.

We also celebrate both, plus the Solstice. My SOs birthday is 21 December and he hates it if we make a fuss, so we celebrate "winter" on his b-day
