Chrismukkah: Yet Another Merger

This time of year, it's not uncommon to see a Christmas tree decorated with the star of David and dreidels, perched next to a table where a menorah flickers in the winter light.

A Christmas-Hanukkah hybrid holiday is an annual reality for mixed-faith households, and Jewish people in Germany have been celebrating the secular, cultural traditions of the Christmas tree and gifts since at least the 19th century.
