Being a member of an interracial and an interreligous family has its challenges, but it's pretty awesome, too. We have to focus on the things that bind us together, not just the things that separate us and realize that we have an opportunity to educate, not only our own family about differences that creates an environment of tolerance and open-mindedness; but when a sticky situation occurs outside of our home, we get the opportunity to educate other people about open-mindedness and tolerance. Essentially, helps all of us to be more self-loving and be self-advocates. When it comes to holidays, I'm Jewish and my husband is Catholic, we celebrate everything. Which is awesome because we get to celebrate more things. We make it a practice to educate why we are celebrating, so that we can educate them. Out of all of it, we get to create new traditions out of our blended family.
