Chrismukkah

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
