My grandmother was Jewish, but raised my dad was raised Christian due to my grandfather being Christian.

But after they divorced, my grandma used to attempt to mix in Chanukah with Christmas stuff when she would celebrate the holidays with my family.

I got really into learning about the Jewish holidays when I was around 16, but.. you know.. our family did not belong to any synagogue and my grandmother was the only Jewish person I knew at the time, so I kinda went online and guessed at how Chanukah is celebrated.

People used to think I was weird because I am a POC and everyone in Minnesota always assumed that you can't be both black AND Jewish. :/

My black family celebrates Kwanzaa...
I used to host a Kwanzaa thread in Mene each year. It was fun, I might do it here if no one else beats me to it :D
