"No Room at the Inn"

Christmas at 1422 30th Drive

Circa 1952

We could not afford a manger so we had the Cousins Club Players stand by the tree and smile...

Angela and Marty made a wonderful Mary and Joseph

while Jimmy and Robert played Wise Men....I

I was suppose to be the third Wise Man but I had to take the picture.

Cousin Dominic (Petrocelli) was to be Baby Jesus

but he ate all the straw and was trying to pass a brick so he could not be there.

It's funny I remember our Christmas Trees as big, full and beautiful...but looking at it, in this picture ?...I guess we had vivid imaginations.

But yet, those were some of the happiest times for us.
