2016 is the Perfect Year to Celebrate Christmukkah

Need another reason to celebrate the end of 2016? Here’s one to add to your list: Christmukkah. The ultimate interfaith faux holiday is extra meaningful this year – because Hanukkah starts on Christmas Eve. It’s “the greatest superholiday known to mankind!”

Seth Cohen, the original Christmukkah elf

Most of us first heard of Christmukkah while watching The O.C.; main character Seth Cohen created it as a nod to his interfaith upbringing (Jewish father and Protestant mother). It’s a combined celebration of all things Jewish and Christian — and also “eight days of presents, followed by one day of many presents.”

But you don’t need to be raised interfaith to recognize Christmukkah. Make it your own by hosting a gathering of friends of all faiths. Serve latkes and eggnog, or have guests bring their favorite traditional dishes, and celebrate!

Watch the dawning of Christmukkah on the O.C. here. Happy holidays to all!
