The Manger (Bethlehem, West Bank, Nov 1999)

In 1999, Elizabeth and I went to Israel, where I had a conference. We toured a lot, especially in West Bank, where most of the historically interesting spots were. Here we're in the Church of the Nativity, in the traditional exact spot of the manger where Jesus was born.

Christmas at Jessica and Gordon's (NY, NY, Dec 1979)

We visited Jessica and Gordon in their apartment in Murray Hill.


My parents came with us.



Note the little upright piano (it was a Baldwin Spinet), before Gordon and Jessica gave it to us.





I guess this is when I scored the blue bathrobe I'm seen in elsewhere in this blog.

Santa (Unknown place, mid 1980s)

I haven't a clue here. From Dave & Dora's ages, this could also be from the 1986 visit to Rochester, but I'm totally guessing.

Hanukkah (West Henrietta, NY, Dec 1986)

We interrupt this Christmas marathon to bring you Hanukkah.

We celebrated Hanukkah a little at our house, but not much. Here are the kids at my parents' house. I'm dating this 1986 (which meshes with the kids' apparent ages), because that's the year Elizabeth and I went to the Yucatan, and the kids stayed with my parents. Hanukkah was on December 27th that year.



Dora made the wood menorah on the left at nursery school. Dave made the construction paper one in the back.

Christmas 1982 - Part 3 of 3 (Darien, CT, Dec 1982)

(Elizabeth said, "These Christmases don't seem a little the same to you?" I replied, "If these don't bore everybody, I don't know what would bore them.")







Two stockings now.
