Christmas is coming up on Monday. As a household that celebrates both Chanukah (which was earlier this month) and Christmas, we have tons of traditions. And we also try to keep stress levels to a minimum. Our tree went up the first Saturday of December and for eight days, we had both the tree and our electric menorah in the living room. We also made two batches of holiday cookies, with the first being menorahs and gingerbread people and the second, candy canes, Christmas trees and MORE gingerbread people. The cookies are made with oats and sweetened with applesauce. We DO eat added sugar – those cookies come from stores (LOL)…

And before I forget, here’s my latest Cynthia Talks Life episode!!

The post Holiday Traditions (Plus New Podcast Episode)!! appeared first on Cynthia C. Mintz.

Cynthia not only discusses how her multiethnic/faith family celebrates December holidays, but also how she, as a child of immigrants celebrated when she was younger.

Is your family multi-faith and/or multi-ethnic or cultural? What are YOUR family traditions? Do tell!!!
