Why was this Christmas different from all other Christmases? Well, between sending Christmas cards, shopping to the sounds of “Jingle Bells” and “White Christmas,” attending banquets and parties and adorning the front of our house with white lights and our front lawn with our “Keep Christ in Christmas” sign, we attended a truly happy and unique holiday party.

It took place between Chanukah and Christmas at the beautiful, spacious home of my daughter-in-law’s sister.
