Any Jewish mommies on here?

Just curious! We're kind of few and far between :) Hanukkah just ended, and I can't help but get all mushy over baby celebrating with us next year. I even have my Noah's Ark menorah from childhood just waiting to be passed down!

I know this is kind of opposite of all the Christmas posts, but it's not intentional! I do love the entire holiday season even though we don't actually celebrate Christmas. I LOVE bundling up and driving around looking at Christmas lights, and Christmas music makes me feel all cozy. In fact, it's been a Hallmark channel Christmas movie marathon in our house today :)

    I'm not Jewish but my husband is and we celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah. I think Hanukkah is so beautiful and I, too, look forward to starting traditions with our little girl!

    I'm not Jewish but my husband is as well. So we celebrate both. But celebrating Christmas for us has no religious ties, it's just more about fun and family.

    We actually celebrate the Jewish holidays over anything Christian.

    I love having the opportunity to learn about the religion and am excited to share/educate my kid on it. I've always jokingly said if I were to be religious, I think Judaism would be one of the contenders.

    I am not Jewish but my husband is. We celebrate Christmas and Chanukah. Our children will be raised Jewish. This is how he grew up and was raised as his dad is Jewish but his mother isn't. Our DD is 22 months old and LOVED Chanukah with lighting the menorah and opening her gifts. I can't wait to see her on Christmas morning now.

    Husband is Jewish, I am not official, but we celebrate both holidays, especially since I always celebrated Christmas as a secular holiday. I do feel funny with Hannukah being over so early this year!! I am leaving the Menorahs out through the season, though.

    My husband is and we celebrate both. We did a big Hannakuh dinner with his family, including our nephews. It was so fun and I can't wait to share that with our little guy!

    Wow, add me to team Jewish husband! There are a lot of us here. I'm Catholic, he's Jewish. We got our girls baptized Catholic but still celebrate both holidays. I love exposing my kids to his traditions as well as mine!

    I'm Jewish but my husband is not. We will raise our kids Jewish. We will give our kids gifts on Christmas so they don't feel left out and as more of a tradition for my husband.

    I'm Jewish, DH is Catholic. We're raising our kids Jewish. We celebrate everything over here, I think it's important that the boys spend holidays (all of them) with family, regardless of what their religion officially is.

    I'm Jewish but my husband is not and we are also going to be raising our children Jewish. That being said, my dad was Protestant and we always celebrated the family aspect of Christmas and plan on doing the same for my husband and our family. Can't help but love the feel of Christmas :).

    We had hannukah last week too:) I'm not Jewish but my husbands family is 100% and I guess that makes my kids half? :) I love it because we never fight over whose family gets us on holidays! We get everything hannukah, Christmas, Passover and Easter and I have become quite fond of kegal... (Spelling??) Seriously crave it :)
