My husband is Jewish and I’m Christian. We’ve been married for 8 years so we’ve figured out a way to make the holidays work for us. We celebrate Chrismukkah.
And here for you, whether you’re an interfaith couple or not, is our very special holiday song — The 12 Days of Chrismukkah. It’s best sung while wearing a yarmulke or a funny elf hat and while very, very drunk. Watch it! You’ll laugh, I promise. And you’ll walk away with an understanding of our relationship I could never give you with words.
Merry Chrismukkah from our house to yours!

*This vlog was created last Chrismukkah (2012) but since my readers have grown by at least 3 over the last year, I really wanted to share it again. ; )
I love this! We do Christmukah too. It’s the best, holidays for a month!
My sons certainly think so. So many nights of gifts!
