The Elephant in the Room

a holiday tradition for interfaith families

The December Dilemma looms large for interfaith families. This book strives to honor family and fun. It provides a way for parents and children to embrace their own holiday and have a deep appreciation for the other holidays celebrated by their extended and blended family.

The God of Christmas and the God of Chanukkah are the same. God reveals Himself to many groups of people and each seeks a fitting way to respond to Him. We are all created in God’s image and give honor and Glory to Him by loving and respecting each other.
