Why Chrismukkah is "the greatest super holiday known to mankind"

In 2003, when "The Sopranos" was having a gap year and shows like "Six Feet Under," "The Wire" and "The Shield" defined our perception of quality TV, a Fox teen drama that debuted in August introduced "the greatest super holiday known to mankind": Chrismukkah. gifted us in the first season episode "The Best Chrismukkah Ever," is a part of the pop culture lexicon, regardless of whether you know its origin story. The relationship between Sepinwall, who is Rolling Stone's chief TV critic, and the show stretches all the way back to 2004 and his first book, "Stop Being a Hater and Learn to Love the O.C." It's just the exuberance with which Adam Brody says "Chrismukkah" — how excited he is when he hears the word escape Ryan's mouth — and just the phrase "eight days of presents, followed by one day of many presents." Now, you have people who have never seen "The O.C" who don't even know that Chrismukkah was popularized by a show called "The O.C."
