MixedBlessing®, Interfaith and Multicultural Cards Offer a Solution to the December Dilemma

Raleigh, NC, November 03, 2008 --(PR.com)-- This year, with Hanukkah and Christmas falling on the same week, interfaith families in the U.S. face some tough questions, How can we balance our celebrations of Christmas and Hanukkah, and at the same time remember the true significance of these two distinct and wonderful holidays? Do we send a Hanukkah card or Christmas card? MixedBlessing, is dedicated to offering interfaith and multicultural holiday cards that send an inclusive universal message. Each card design connects people by acknowledging both Christmas and Hanukkah and bringing people together of all faiths, backgrounds and culture to embrace the Oneness of our world. “Customers love MixedBlessing cards because they reflect who they are and how they celebrate the holidays.” said Elise Okrend, owner of MixedBlessing.

MixedBlessing has been creating cards for interfaith families for eighteen years. The company was the first to offer a full line of holiday cards acknowledging more than one religion and suitable for Jewish-Christian families. At first, MixedBlessing endured criticism from religious leaders and skepticism from others, accusing them of promoting intermarriage and the blending of religion. The success of the company has come with the strength of their mission to move people toward peace, tolerance and diversity.

The company offers a line of over 50 interfaith, multicultural, peace and diversity holiday cards. A new design for this year, offers a chic duet of festive martini glasses, one with a bobbling dreidel and Star of David stirrer, the other with candy cane mixers. The original design, created by Elise Okrend, combined a Star of David on one side with a Christmas tree on the other. A favorite multicultural design depicts decorated houses representing different nationalities surrounding a peace globe.

The company continues to grow with the national trend towards intermarriage, spirituality and global diversity.
