There's no doubt that the holiday season is the best time of the year, but it can be even more exciting if you come from a family that celebrates Hanukkah AND Christmas. So much festivity, so little time! And the best part of it all? Some years Hanukkah even overlaps on Christmas and you get a night that's double the fun! Below are some reasons why is just too good living the best of both worlds.
1. You get double the gifts.
CHA-CHING
2. Yummy, diverse food
Latkes, Matzah Balls, Challah bread, milk and cookies, cinnamon, and ham (just to name a few)
3. Fun traditions
From playing dreidel to the glow of the menorah, to decorating the Christmas tree, the possibilities are endless.
4. Being able to relate to a variety of people
me one second: Ah yes, Shalom rabbi.
me the next second: Merry Christmas Pastor!
5. It gives you more to look forward to.
Two holidays, one season. What a time to be alive!
6. Menorahs AND Christmas trees
Festivity overload.
7. Quality family time
Say hello to your nana from New York and your Papi from Florida!
8. Matzah balls coupled with Santa's cookies
Yes these are both amazing...but maybe not together
9. You can give cherished Christmas songs a little twist.
"We wish 'Jew' a Merry Christmas"
10. Double the decorations
Anyone down to top the tree with the star of David?
11. More party invites
You've been to your fair share of "ugly sweater parties" as well as "Hanukkah Soirees"
Whatever it is you're celebrating this holiday season, have a happy one! Or a merry one... Just have a great one!
