Happy Holidays in Bethlehem

Just some shameless self promotion this morning...

Consider buying one of my books - they make wonderful Christmas presents for the local history lover in your family.  I will be doing a book signing on Saturday, December 10 from 10 a.m. until noon time at I Love Books in Delmar.  Stop by and buy!  Remember, all of my royalties are donated to the Bethlehem Historical Association.

George says buy this now!

Both books, Bethlehem and Historic Tales of Bethlehem New York are available at the town clerk's office at Bethlehem Town Hall, I Love Books, the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce and, of course, online.

Looking to get in the holiday spirit? Stop on by the Bethlehem Historical Association's Cedar Hill Schoolhouse for our annual Silver Tea and enjoy the wonderful decorations.  This year's theme is "Walking in a Winter Wonderland."

The Silver Tea, with a special appearance by Sinterklaas is Sunday December 4
from 1 to 4 p.m.
The Holiday Open House is Monday, December 5 from 4 to 8 p.m.
Both are free and open to the public!

Not enough holiday history?  Stop by the Delmar Farmer's Market on December 3 or 10.  The Bethlehem Historical Association, and yours truly, will have a table with lots of historic photos to look through.

And finally, here's a bit of actual history, a Christmas card sent by the Elsmere Market. Not sure of the date... 1960 maybe??
