No more vague non-sectarian cards with "Season's Greetings" and generic winter scenes. US card companies are marketing cards that proclaim "Merry Christmukkah".
Images include a christmas tree decorated with dreidels, a transparent plastic menorah filled with candy canes, a snowman wearing a tallit. Captions include Oy Joy, and Merry Mazeltov. One card features a list of Hanukka songs that never caught on, including "Shlepping Through a Winter Wonderland," "Bubbie Got Run Over by a Reindeer" and "Come On, Light My Menorah."
Equality in meaninglessness.
Note: The illustration is not from the article, but from an Ebay auction page.
