"Deck the halls
with lots of tchotchkes,
Fa la la la la la la la la la.
Tis the season to eat latkes,
Fa la la la la la la la L'Chaim!"
Chrismukkah is now upon us, or so the good folks at
chrismukkah.com[dead link] would have us believe. And the Chrismukkahans want to help you celebrate a Merry Mish-Mash Holiday.
For example, you can build your own Matzoh House (as long as you buy the Merry Mish Mash Holiday cookbook)!
You can plan a special
Chrismukka Nosh[dead link]: invite some friends over for a
Noel Nosh and a hot cup of
Meshugga Nog.
You can also read the
Chrismukkah blog[dead link] and submit your own
Chrismukkah stories[dead link]. Now, maybe this whole Chrismukkah thing is a joke. Maybe they really are trying to support interfaith families. But their only serving a portion of the population by narrowly focusing on Judeo-Christian celebrations. If they really want to go interfaith, they have to add
Solstice, Yule [
Heathen Yule,
Wiccan Yule],
Bodhi Day, Zarathosht Diso and probably a dozen or so others that I've missed.
That would change the thrust of their site ... and force them to really come up with a snazzy name.
And while you're checking out Chrismukkah, don't forget about
Chrismahanukwanzakah (which I blogged about
last year). The "Angel" link uses the song from last year, but not the cool animation. I guess they dropped it for all new stuff this year. That's too bad, the graphics on the original were outstanding.
Update 2014-12-09: Seems that chrismukkah.com is no longer with us. It went down sometime after 2009 (you can see some archived blog posts
here), and the domain is currently parked by GoDaddy. And good luck getting your hands on that cookbook. It's currently out of stock
moderntribe.com.
