Chrismukkah?????

While performing a search for a previous post, I stumbled across a "new" holiday celebration, Chrismukkah. Here is a brief description of this most diverse and tolerant holiday:
Chrismukkah is a hybrid holiday. While it's not found on the calendar (yet) it's the "state of mind" shared by many interfaith families during the holiday season. Chrismukkah is a gumbo of favorite secular, (non-religious) traditions from both Hanukkah and Christmas. Chrismukkah is celebrated by intermarried couples, interfaith families with both Jewish and Christian members, people with partial Jewish heritage... or anyone who just feels like it. Chrismukkah is a festive celebration of diversity and tolerance - a fresh way to describe how millions of us experience a "merry mishmash" holiday. http://www.chrismukkah.com
Hey, as long as we are taking Christ out if Christmas anyway (notice it is not CHRISTmukkah) - why not have Chrismukkwanzaa?! That way we can all pat ourselves on the back and wish each other peace, love and joy all the way to hell.

Matt. 10:33-39 NASB
33 "But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven. 34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 "For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW; 36 and A MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD. 37 "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 "He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.
Well, at least practicing Jews don't like it either.
