chrismukkah, hear of it?

[yingers74]

I was reading about this today in the paper, jewish-christian couples celebrate this and they even have cards etc saying happy chrismakkah!!! This would be great for us as my dh is jewish albeit secular!

I saw it!

I thought the cards were clever

could you tell me which paper you saw it in please Yingers?

The Times, main section, page 21!!

What a pile of sh^te

Sorry .. but that's just a stupid stupid concept ..

Of course you can do the elements of both if you wish .. light the chanukah candles / have a christmas tree .. but to formalise it with cards and an actual nonsensical name just makes me want to hurl ...

It's the card manufacturers looking for another opportunity to sell rubbish

Please don't fall for it .. I actually find it quite insulting

It is rather funny, isn't it? I think part of it is that neither faith wants to 'lose' a person hence this compromise!

This comes from that show 'the OC'.

took the words out of my mouth Twiglett (although my family is not religious I bet the CEOs of Hallmark and Clintons are wetting their pants with glee)

We used to have Hannumas parties when I was at school - carol singing in the street to raise money for the class charity fund, followed by lighting Hannukah candles at home, finishing up with turkey and latkes,. But none of this card nonsense. It is just commercialisation, not at all consideration of multiculturalism. The whole point IMO of multiculturalism is that we all retain our festivals, yet respect and enjoy others' festivals. These 'Chrismakkah' cards make a mockery out of it and are meaningless.

what a load of rubbish. Will we have cards for Pester (Pesach/Easter) too ???

This is purely designed to line the pockets of some already very rich card manufacturers.

I thought this was an OC appreciation thread, daddycool...
