This year’s theme, Traditions & Celebrations, celebrates the holiday traditions of Richard J. Hughes and his family.
"Nothing makes a house a home more than holiday traditions. A particularly special one began on Christmas Eve 1950 in Trenton. Richard Hughes, who was not yet governor, had suddenly lost his first wife, Miriam, weeks earlier. Hughes did his best to pull Christmas together for his four small children, but nothing seemed right. When his Jewish friends got word of his situation, they arrived on Christmas Eve ready to decorate the tree. The interdenominational Christmas Eve visit became a tradition that continued after Hughes married Betty. She christened the event “Deck the Halls with Matzo Balls!”
