	Chrismukkah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chrismukkah is the modern-day merging of the holidays of Christianity's Christmas and Judaism's Hanukkah as celebrated in interfaith households where one parent may be of Christian heritage and another parent of Jewish heritage.
		Chrismukkah gained pop culture notoriety on December 3, 2003, after being featured on the FOX television program The O.C. In 2004, Chrismukkah.com was launched by Ron and Michelle Gompertz, a Jewish-Christian intermarried couple in Bozeman, Montana.
		Chrismukkah is advertised as if it were an established holiday by Chrismukkah.com.

	Christmukkah
		The interfaith celebration of Chrismukkah is poised to attract an even larger number of devotees this holiday season as the novel celebration's appeal takes firmer hold worldwide.
		Chrismukkah officially began as a new holiday tradition in 2004 after interfaith couple Ron Gompertz, a Jew from New York City, and his Midwestern, Protestant wife Michelle, launched Chrismukkah.com to help millions of people with Jewish and Christian persuasions share the joy of both Hanukkah and Christmas with family and friends.
		Gompertz notes: "Chrismukkah is not a new religion and is not intended to replace the individual holidays of Christmas and Hanukkah, but we hope to encourage awareness of Jewish identity and embracing of Jewish holiday traditions within interfaith families and among half-Jews."

		Chrismukkah "is a huge hit with consumers," says Lisa Gregorian, Warner senior vice president of TV creative services.
		While interfaith households long have created their own holiday rituals, the catchy Chrismukkah name is new, and so are the resulting efforts to cash in on it.
		Calling it a "multicultural mess," The Catholic League and the New York Board of Rabbis, in a joint statement, condemned Chrismukkah as "insulting" to Jews and Christians.

	Hold on to your dreidels, it's Chrismukkah!
		These are the people, after all, who concocted Chrismukkah, the strangest, most wonderful addition to the calendar since "Seinfeld's" Festivus.
		Chrismukkah is being commemorated this December for only the second time.
		Nevertheless, Seth Cohen, the show-stealer of the semi-serious Fox drama, is convinced, "This is the year Chrismukkah sweeps the nation." It very well might; the Chrismukkah show was last season's highlight, and this year's version is even better - if it's able to survive the lunacy in Seth's household.

		Chrismukkah first jumped into public consciousness in a episode of the Fox TV show, “The OC,” on Dec. 3, 2003, where the main character, Seth Cohen, the son of a Jewish father and Protestant mother, decided that interfaith families should no longer have to choose between Christmas and Chanukah.
