Interfaith Family & Chrismukkah Hats

Chrismukkah is what interfaith households call the December overlap of Christmas and Hanukkah, and it has outgrown the joke: NPR and Religion News Service both covered families finding meaning in it in 2024, the year Hanukkah fell on Christmas Day. The audience is large. Pew's 2020 survey found that 42% of married Jews have a non-Jewish spouse, while Jews are about 2.4% of the US population, so many households hold both holidays at once. One Boston Globe interviewee remembers a Christmas tree with, in her words, "like, 8,000 dreidels on it," and a five-year-old called the season "basically an eight-day Christmas." In 2004 the Catholic League called Chrismukkah a "multicultural mess," which is exactly the kind of label a mixed household can wear with a straight face. These interfaith family hats are for them. Hanukkah 2026 runs from sundown Friday, December 4 to sundown Saturday, December 12, with Christmas close behind, so the gift window is open now. MERRY CHRISMUKKAH and TWO HOLIDAYS ARE BETTER THAN ONE are phrases that already appear on sweatshirts in Hey Alma's holiday roundup, and the rest carry the double guilt, the Hanukkah bush, and the afikoman hunt. HALF JEWISH HALF CATHOLIC DOUBLE THE GUILT and EIGHT NIGHTS PLUS CHRISTMAS I'M WINNING each get a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Wear one to both parties, or give it to the half-and-half kid in your life.
