Christmas meets Hanukkah for millions of mixed-faith families - who deck their trees with Stars of David and spin the dreidel under mistletoe. Here is a lavishly illustrated and endlessly entertaining guide to celebrating Chrismukkah, the merry mish-mash holiday. A veritable cornucopia of seasonal delights, this handy lifestyle guide walks us through the Chrismukkah events, history and lore. You'll learn about hybrid holiday traditions in decorating (ornaments, wreaths, menorahs, dreidels) innovative tchotchkes (Chrismukkah cards, stockings, lights) and a plethora of menorah options. Plus, the book includes rollicking games to play and songs to sing, along with easy-to-follow recipes for Latkes with Sugar Plum Fairy Sauce, General Saul's Chicken, Mama Mia Matzah Pizza! Your yuletide happy hours will never be the same once you start mixing a Yule Plotz, Meshugga Nog, or Manishewitz Mulled Wine. Rounding out the mix are chapters on snazzy holiday hats and caps, interfaith dog and cat gift suggestions, and office-party do's and don'ts. It's beginning to look a lot like Chrismukkah and now we'll all be ready to celebrate with style! |
