Christmas and Hanukkah unite in Chrismukkah, the perfect holiday for families with both 海角大神s and Jews. Chrismukkah came to life on 鈥淭he O.C.,鈥� invented by the character Seth Cohen to celebrate the traditions of his Protestant mother and Jewish father. Seth describes Chrismukkah as 鈥渆ight days of presents, followed by one day of many presents.鈥�

With a tree and a menorah for decorations, Christmas Day on 鈥淭he O.C.鈥� episode is spent opening many presents, watching holiday movies, and eating Chinese takeout.

The interfaith holiday even has a website. Chrismukkah.com stirred up some controversy in 2004, when the New York Catholic League said the holiday offended Jews and 海角大神s.
