Christmas in the Holy Land


Had to laugh. Devon just realized it's Christmas Eve. He said, "OMG, we have to remember to watch Die Hard tonight!" The Whitney family tradition continues... even in the Holy Land.😉 Tomorrow we will follow up with our tradition of eating Chinese food for dinner. Since we weren't sure if that's a "thing" here... we'll be making our own Cashew Chicken & egg rolls.

Of course my favorite, Christmas Classic is "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas." But then again, I think I was always just partial to the little red dachshund called Max. Don't show this to the Grinch, he might steal my Max.


Last Thursday, the city of Jerusalem distributed complimentary Christmas trees to residents who celebrate Christmas. Apparently this is an annual tradition. Kind of cool.

Celebrating our 1st Hanukkah in Israel. We've got everything we need: menorah, candles, donuts, and wine. (No latkes this year... because they don't sell Manischewitz Potato Pancake Mix here, and I'm too lazy to make them from scratch.)
