I often wondered if he ever had occasion to wear it. I thought to the golf course, maybe.<BR/><BR/>As for our traditional Christmas celebration, I remember, no one feeling sorry for anyone because they couldn't sing carols or live in that closed community. In fact, I remember feeling a bit envious because you three Jewish kids got to stand up and receive a lot of attention, while the rest of us had to stay in our seats. Furthermore, I was outright jealous of the fact that you got to stay home during Christmas AND Channukka, not to mention this holiday and that one and the other one while I had to go to school (and you went to NYC and saw shows). Here was proof that you were the Chosen Ones.<BR/>Now, I have always been sure the all-faith Christmas celebration at Mom's started with your realization that at our house pork chops were there for the gnawing. While it is true that Mother Claire believes everyone should be treated faily, first and foremost she believes in the rights of all children to eat crispy pork. The meeting of your pork deprivation and Mom's crusade to give pork to all led to the Italian sausage, then the meatballs, then the logical progression to the lasagna. Then, of course, the domino effect came into play leading quite inevitably to the Universal-Interfaith Christmas Eve tree decorating. <BR/><BR/>I had no social concience about those who had grown up without bacon and Taylor Ham, but I was happy to have a kid in my only-child world and there was plenty for you and me.<BR/> And now there is plenty for the rest of them, too...the kids, their sweeties, their pets...<BR/><BR/>And there you have it, my belief-<BR/>because of bacon, the Christmas tree became a Channukka bush.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26527197.post-1167187455420690152006-12-26T21:44:00.000-05:002006-12-26T21:44:00.000-05:00I just now checked out the OT site, signed up for ...I just now checked out the OT site, signed up for the catalogue and...oh,my God,I thought I was trouble enough with the Johnson Smith catalogue..Thanks.Walter Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512335002946026312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26527197.post-1167180669313160362006-12-26T19:51:00.000-05:002006-12-26T19:51:00.000-05:00You two are quite welcome.Thanks for the tip on Or...You two are quite welcome.Thanks for the tip on Oriental Trading.I appreciate the thought of not giving my address without knowing.

David's persona never really changes regardless of attire--however he is thinking this 1940's persona is one he's considering taking to the White House and other equally colorful shoots.Iris&Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131960635510843593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26527197.post-1167139840541522232006-12-26T08:30:00.000-05:002006-12-26T08:30:00.000-05:00Kida reminds me of the Bugs Bunny cartoon in which...Kida reminds me of the Bugs Bunny cartoon in which a truck full of hats makes a sharp turn, and a bunch of hats fall off..That's the one that has each character change personas dependent on the type hat landed on them at different times..What type persona does a 1940's fedodra take on?Walter Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512335002946026312noreply@blogger.com
