A Holiday Mash-Up
Every day we’re forced to make decisions: Starbucks or Coffee Bean? Blackberry or iPhone? And don’t get us started on Edward versus Jacob. This holiday season, why choose between the Jews’ beloved Festival of Lights and the Christians’ Jesus b-day/Santa intrusion? Rather, celebrate them both. Together. Some call it Chrismukkah, others might call it Hanukkmas, we’re calling it a Holiday Mash-Up!
1. decorations
Create a Hanukkah-themed Christmas tree with dreidels as ornaments and this Star of David tree topper. Deck the halls with blue and silver, oy oy oy oy oy, oy oy oy oy!

2. season’s greetings
Send a holiday card that says “I may be indecisive, but that’s not holding me back from sending good tidings!!”

3. attire
Spice up an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party by showing up in an Ugly Hanukkah Sweater. It’s a nice way of demonstrating that, regardless of race or creed, we are all tacky.

4. snacks
Here’s a combo we can get behind: Hanukkah candy canes! Tastier than peppermint latkes or egg nog brisket.

5. enjoy this
Christmas is pretty terrific, but these girls know how to make it even better: add Jews.
