He isn&#8217;t really ******** in his faith (i.e. does not eat Kosher) and seeing as though the holidays are around the corner, I was wondering whether I should give him a Christmas gift (which is what I celebrate) or I should give him a Hannakuh gift (which I have no idea how that whole thing works, do I have to give him several gifts?) Im new at this whole thing and I haven&#8217;t the slightest clue about Judaism except for the songs I used to sing in elementary school about lighting the minorah and dradle spinning =) HELP!!!

<div><em><strong>gitsliveon24</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>My boss is from Lebanon  he is not the friendliest guy in the world but he&#8217;s a good boss. We would like to buy him a holiday gift but nobody including myself has the guts to ask him if he&#8217;s Jewish, Muslim or Christian. Now I know that if you&#8217;re from Isreal chances are you&#8217;re Jewish but I&#8217;ve never heard of Lebanon until I started working for him. We can&#8217;t very well give him a gift the week of Christmas if that&#8217;s not his holiday that I think would be an insult considering he&#8217;s very proud of his culture. Any idea?<br />
If hes Islam or Muslim does anyone know when their holiday is?<br/><br/><a href='http://happyjewishgifter.com/stationary'>Fine Stationary</a></div>

<div><em><strong>haroldhark</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>B/F takes good care of children. They are teens and spoiled.  B/F is Jewish and celebrates  both holidays with us, puts tree in his house for us and have christmas gifts etc.This year we ALL took Xmas cruise. Sometimes I feel picky and ungrateful as I would not have traveled, dined, or been entertained, if it was not for him. As previous post says I ALMOST live at his home. I now want marriage but he recently stated is comfortable as is FOR NOW. Then the vacation came up with  kids. He said it was budget, perhaps kids didn&#8217;t want us along, if so I see it as a bad sign. Should I?<br />
I am fighting resentful feelings and looking for negative issues.My inability to give same things to my son is very humiliating now especially during summer. I had opportunity for free lodgings in great mountain cabin, but his kids didn&#8217;t want to go. Sadly I could not go without shared gas cost etc.<br />
I am seeking 2nd job which will help and B/F encourages me even tho it means no time for us. Am I blind?<br/><br/><a href='http://happyjewishgifter.com/giftbaskets'>Create Your Own Custom Gift Baskets!</a></div>

<p>When people ask I say I am both Christian and Jewish. Im not religiously Jewish, I have never prayed in Jewish. But when I was younger, my mom would take me to church and I do celebrate both Christian and Jewish Holidays (Just Easter, Hanukkah, and Christmas)<br />
(Not much praying goes on, we just open presents &#8211; exchange gifts)</p>
<p>Is it possible to just practice one religion and stay that way?</p>
<p>And it is possible to have two different religions run through your blood, be mixed, right?<br/><br/><a href='http://happyjewishgifter.com/handmadecandy'>Handmade Candy for Discriminating Tastes</a></div>

<p>By the way, if you are Jewish, would you be offended if a close Christian aquaintence/client gave you a menorah as a gift? Would you think they were over stepping their boundaries?<br />
What would you think if they had a menorah in their house? (Of course they know what it stands for and what it means)<br />

<div><em><strong>eljmoe</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Hi.  I&#8217;m Jewish (more by culture than religion) and I am worried that if I eventually have children with my current boyfriend, I won&#8217;t pass down my culture and Jewish pride.  Or, maybe my children will feel more connected to his culture/race/religion than mine.  </p>

<p>Should I still be worried?<br/><br/><a href='http://happyjewishgifter.com/personalizedbaby'>Personalized Baby Gifts</a></div>
