Yup, Christians and Muslims side by side, celebrating the lighting of the Christmas tree in the Bethlehemtown square. When we were there on Christmas Eve a few years ago, it was unforgettable: young people handed out white roses to everyone without asking their religious affiliation; Christmas songs sung live onstage that wove back and forth between Arabic andEnglish; tea vendor, corn on the cob vendor, felafel vendor...and literally joy and love on every face (except the IDF sharp shooter on the roof of the Church of the Nativity).
