Interfaith Holiday Traditions
Clip: Season 9 | 4m 6s
The convergence of Christmas and Hanukkah can be a challenge to some interfaith families.
When Christmas and the first night of Hanukkah fall on the same day, the growing number of interfaith families who observe both holidays face an unusual challenge. We visited the Miller family in Takoma Park, Maryland, to find out how they're handling this "December dilemma."
