“ After my husband and I read this book we thought it would make a great gift for all of our friends who celebrate both Chanukah and Christmas. ” JBR | 2 reviewers made a similar statement

“ Great book for kids; this helps kids understand that it can be really nice to grow up in a household where parents are of different religons. ” Andrew | 1 reviewer made a similar statement

“ How unfortunate that the author has the child embarrassed, instead of pleased and perhaps confused when he realizes that not all kids get to enjoy both holidays. ” BargainBuyer | 2 reviewers made a similar statement

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome November 24, 2010

By Steven R. McEvoy TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Format:Paperback

Sam is preparing for the holidays, decorating his Christmas tree and polishing his Menorah. But at school as child after child shares their story about their holiday tradition, Sam becomes confused and embarrassed, because all the other children only have one holiday and he has two. That night he shares what happened to with his mother, and she explains that his family celebrates two traditions. The next day at school Sam shares about having two traditions and the other kids think that is cool.

The book is wonderfully written and charmingly illustrated. It presents both traditions with respect and appreciation. It will be a good book to help your children understand another tradition or maybe their own mixed traditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book! November 4, 2010

By LE McGowan

Format:Paperback

As interfaith families become increasingly common, it's key to add another tool to our educational arsenal. This book is wonderful for teaching kids about the positives of having two holidays to celebrate, and also helps assure them that they are not alone. This is a must-buy for any interfaith family.
