Chrismukkah History
The word Chrismukkah originated in the late 1800's in Germany. German-Jews called the holiday "Weihnukkah" after Hanukkah and the German word for Christmas, Weihnachten. "A Christmas celebration with a tree, songs, and gifts became a symbol of being a part of German culture for many middle-class Jewish families in the 19th century. Jews celebrated Christmas as a secular 'festival of the world around us' without religious meaning, or they transferred Christmas customs to the Hanukkah festival. This mixture was and is referred to as 'Chrismukkah.' " - From Wikipedia
Chrismukkah Trivia
Chrismukkah, if you haven't been able to tell from the name, is a mix of Christmas and Hanukkah. It is celebrated in interfaith households where one part is of Jewish background and the other Christian.

The holiday of Chrismukkah gained widespread pop culture distinction after being featured on an episode of FOX's The OC. On the show, for those simple folk who do not know, Sandy Cohen is of Jewish decent while Kirsten Cohen is Christian. So, instead of choosing one celebration over the other, the Cohen family celebrates both! (And we all know that what ever holiday is being celebrated on The OC is THE holiday to be celebrating!)

Here's a little fun fact about this faux holiday: before it was ever aired on television, The NY Catholic League in the fall of 2004 issued a National Press release opposing the holiday of Chrismukkah. They were just jealous.

Chrismukkah is a great way for two religions that have had shaky times in the past to come together and celebrate what the holiday season has come to represent for the masses - a time a joy, family and friendship.

Other Things To Know About Chrismukkah
Just like its half part, Hanukkah, Chrismukkah has multiple spellings:
Chrismukah, Christmukah, Christmukkah, Hannumas, Chanumas, Christnukmah
