It was Christmas day in Princeton. We had many things planned but began the day with a visit to TASK, the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, where I took no pictures. We then came home and observed Jane's wound
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251014
which seemed to be healing as the pistachio nut shells
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251015
that Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251016
had eaten accumulated. Next we went to the Mulvey's and posed for a family portrait outside their door.

Once inside, Laurie served lemon brownies
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251018
and a beautiful cheese plate.

Fay Greenbaum
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251020
previously of Sarah Lawrence class of 1974 was there as was Laurie's mother,
Dorothy.

This new camera
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251022
was John's
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251023
Christmas gift as Laurie
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251024
noted. I took this picture of Sarah and Claire
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251025
as he did the same
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251026
though I don't have the result of his photography. Lizzie
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251027
came by and posed with her grandmother as Johnny and Benjamin
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251028
played NBA Street Smart as Jane
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251029
watched their game
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251030
and the adornments on Claire's wall
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251031
especially this one
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251032
which I particularly enjoyed. After taking a few pictures for the Sarah Lawrence alumni news (class of '74)
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251033
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251034
we headed off in the sunset to our next obligation.
Here we are at the Feinstein's door
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251035
getting ready to ring the bell. Once inside, Benjamin captured these pictures of Peter Kramer blocking the bag from a fast flurry of jabs and hooks
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251036
and the stationary bag
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251037
taking a rest. The after dinner crowd was a little sedate with Rory needing to tie his shoe (or maybe he was embarrassed by his recent indictment?)
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251038
while Peter
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251039
Brian
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251040
Richard
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251041
and Michael
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251042
looked on.
Everyone came to life when we did the blue light experiments (which we would not want to do in KMart) starting with the basic illumination
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251043
and then doing Peter's face,
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251044
my face
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251045
and Sarah's ear
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251046
before letting Sarah
../../../Sabbat/12.25.01XmasDay//PC251047
take the keys away for her journey to see the Princeton opening of A Beautiful Mind.
Our parting wish for all is that all your Christmases be bright!!
