Since most people in the world (and even a lot of people in Israel!) can't come to Bethlehem to see the Christmas lights, I thought I'd do you all a favor and post pictures of them. I thought that I would be spending another year living in a country that doesn't celebrate Christmas, but since Bethlehem and Beit Sahour are Christian cities, I get my Christmas light fix every night!

These two pictures are blurry and don't do them justice, but you can see the lights stretched across the road and the Christmas tree in the middle of town. It's beautiful!
