Day #11 of 28, 23-Dec-2008

Well the whopping 1.5% of the population that celebrates Christmas here is getting ready to do so. If you think about it, imagine a party of 200 people, 3 of them are celebrating. It's ironic that in the "Holy Land", this event is marginalized to the point of non-existence -- except for the fact that a lot of folks travel to the Holy Land during these special times. So, here too, there's a highly visibile and important element of "retail sales" inexorably linked to this event.

What follows is a series of pictures of Santa Claus and video clips of the 1st ever Childrens' Christmas Celebration here, featuring Ballet & Dance.












Here comes Santa!!









And a couple of still shots of Santa and the Kids!!
