I am in Jersulem now. Things are pretty peaceful here, in Tel Aviv and in the West Bank. From what I can tell Gaza is shutoff and is not so peaceful.
Christmas is a just a regular religious holiday here. The frantic rush in the streets and the stores for last minute presents is completely missing. In fact the Jerusalem old city (Christian, Armenian and Jewish quarters) are very quiet right now and the hotels etc. are empty. Presumably this is because of all of the fear.
I did visit the Western/Wailing wall today and will be spending tonight at the Nativity Church in Bethlehem tonight.
Peace!
