We are a family of mixed traditions. Neither Neil or I are from religious households, but we celebrate our Christian and Jewish traditions. We celebrate both Hanukah and Christmas much to our daughter’s delight. And tonight like a good Jewish/Christian family, we are celebrating the first night of Hanukkah by taking Lindsay to see the Nutcracker.
She’s seen various versions before, but tonight we’re going to the big kahuna. Lincoln Center. I can still remember the first ballet I saw at Lincoln Center. Swan Lake with my grandfather. People-watching at intermission was almost as spectacular as the performance. I can’t wait to share this experience with Lindsay!
