Oct. 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Raleigh, NC October 25, 2010-With all the stress and uncertainty in people¹s lives, what a breath of fresh air it is to receive a holiday card that envisions a world of peace and tolerance. This is something we all need, now more than ever. 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. "Our cards reflect the magic of the holiday season and inspires people to imagine a better world,"said Elise Okrend, owner of MixedBlessing.

MixedBlessing has been creating cards that touch people¹s hearts 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 continues to grow with the national trend towards intermarriage, spirituality and global diversity, and offers a line of over 50 interfaith, multicultural, peace and diversity holiday cards. "Customers love MixedBlessing cards because they reflect who they are and how they want the world to be," says Elise Okrend. A new card design for this year, illustrates the word JOY, with the J being a peace dove, O a Christmas wreath and Y, a golden menorah. The design that started MixedBlessing, 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.

For this holiday season, MixedBlessing is introducing a children's holiday book, Blintzes For Blitzen, a delightful tale of Christmas and Hanukkah. Written by Elise and Philip Okrend, the book tells the story of Blitzen, Santa's curious and hungry reindeer, who wanders off from Santa and the other reindeer one Christmas Eve as he is led by an unfamiliar but delicious smell.  Blitzen finds himself at a village deli where he unexpectedly ends up celebrating Hanukkah with Bernie the Deli owner and his family, renowned throughout town for their delicious mouthwatering blintzes.  Blitzen also shares the story of Christmas with the family as the two holiday celebrations magically come together.  Bernie's famous blintzes recipe is included.

The company has also added The Peace Shop, featuring COEXIST merchandise. This cleverly designed logo combines the symbols of the religions of the world to form the word COEXIST. "I¹m excited to be continue to offer innovative products inspiring people to imagine a better world,"said Elise Okrend. MixedBlessing greeting cards and other items such as mugs, multicultural cards, music, interfaith stockings and books are available online at www.mixedblessing.com. Elise and Philip Okrend are available for interviews. Catalogs are available by calling 1-800-947-4004. Card art is available in your publication with permission.
