This gift collection has been specially curated by Tradition's owner, Wendy Gordon. Her inspiration behind the creation of these exclusive gifts was at first the rarity of both the first night of Hanukkah and Christmas Eve falling on the same night and remembered what fun it was creating exclusive gifts back in 2013 when the first day of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving fell on the same night.
After extensive research on the subject, she realized that many families celebrate both holidays and that this was not only a gift idea for 2016, but gifts that interfaith families could enjoy each year when they celebrate the December holidays. Wendy says; "What began as a fun and creative project turned into what I felt was an untapped need in the holiday gift market."
With a deep respect for the religious nature of both Hanukkah and Christmas, Wendy does not recognize Chrismukkah as a holiday because it is solely a made up holiday created from the comedy TV show; The OC. Just as she did not use the coined phrase, "Thanksgivukkah" for the previous Hanukkah/Thanksgiving gift collection, she is not using the phrase, "Chrismukkah" with this collection of gifts.
Wendy feels that it is important for each family to celebrate the holidays as they see fit. "It is not for me to judge how people choose to celebrate their holidays." and she understands that interfaith holiday celebration is a sensitive topic for many people. Wendy wishes for religious tolerance and understanding, no matter how people choose to celebrate their holidays.
I have never seen an interfaith menorah. I ordered one for our household and loved it so much that I ordered one for each of my kids. Chanukah is early this year, so it will be a Thanksgiving gift!
Absolutely fantastic. So much so, that I ordered one for my kids who are also in interfaith marriages. I own about 6 other Gary Rosenthal sculptures but this may be our all-time favorite.
Absolutely delighted with this work of art! The workmanship is superb Our son and daughter in law are so happy to have this work by Rosenthal Traditions has once again provided a unique product. Service is great and the people are so customer oriented that it’s a pleasure doing business with them
I absolutely LOVE this menorah. It is unique and beautiful. I am jewish and my husband is christian. This menorah helps us to marry both traditions in a beautiful way.
Received in excellent condition, very artful and we loved how it adorned our holiday table every night. Highly recommend.
This is the perfect menorah for our family. My husband is Jewish and I am not but we celebrate both holidays. I just love this!
