[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Merry Chrismukkah! We do both Christmas and Hannukah, both very light. Same with Passover and Easter. He celebrates Yom Kippur and the kids observe with him. I appreciate that Jesus is the link between both of our faith traditions and embrace them.

The kids will ultimately choose their own faith or none of the above, but the point of family is love. We give them that.

My philosophy is this: relax. It'll all work out.[/quote]

We are very similar. I find that it bothers my (Methodist) mom way more than my Jewish inlaws. I don't think it could have worked if either of us were very active in our religions. Our kids go to Methodist preschool and the corresponding summer camps. We do not regularly attend any services. We do attend High Holiday, Hannukah and Passover dinners at my inlaws, in addition to celebrating C&E. My kids (7&4) do not yet know that religions are mutually exclusive. The don't know they can't be Christian AND Jewish. Not sure when or how that will come up.[/quote]
