You can return a tree that’s the wrong size, just like a sweater? Who knew?!

Ha! Awesome. Fortunately, I only have one tree in the attic to choose from. Makes things much easier, if much less entertaining. Happy Christmukah!!

Don’t be silly. I’ve learned about various faiths, participated in their celebrations and ceremonies, and it’s done nothing short of enhance my own relationship with Christ. It’s given me, and my children, nothing but the benefit of empathy and the sense that the world, God’s world, is a place so much larger than I’m capable of comprehending. I feel particularly bad for you.

I’m Jewish – Orthodox Jewish at that – and I need to stand up and yell from the rooftops that the only sad thing about this post is the comment by TR. The fact that you are showing your kids both faiths and etching them tolerance, acceptance and love along the way is an exquisite message. Through the two if you, they will grow up learning, by example, that true love finds a way and that there can sometimes be two rights and no wrongs. Wishing you a very happy and love-filled Christmas, Channukah and anything else you may want to celebrate… Regardless of what closed-minded people want to shame you into. Xoxo

Before I go, I want to add that this piece really warmed my heart. You guys are BEAUTIFUL.

I love this story. I think it is so awesome to raise your children with such wisdom. Kudos and thanks for sharing! Oh, and disregard the comment from that twatwaffle who obviously has a pine cone up their ass. The only thing “sad” is TR’s perspective.

Sure, because embracing and celebrating the cultural heritage of both parents will mess up the kids for life. I see years of therapy ahead for those poor kids. (Watch out, in case the sarcasm slaps right over the back of your head.)

Wow. I feel sad for you. This is no longer 1800-anything. Chrisitianity and Judaism actually have many parallels and there is no reason why the birth of Christ cannot be celebrated in multiple ways. I do not see what the problem is in taking an entire month to celebrate the birth of a very special baby and man, for without him our world would be totally different.
Kudos to families who have different backgrounds and traditions and are adult enough to not only understand the differences but also EMBRACE the challenges of incorporating both into their one family.

Hope you all have a very Happy and Blessed Chrismukkah!
