Christmas always reminds me of skiing with my family. We would always try to ski on Christmas day since the mountains would be much less crowded. We always try to find that one Chinese Restaurant that is open on Christmas so the Jews who don't celebrate can go out to eat! It is quite common knowledge in NYC that the Chinese food spots stay open on the Christmas holiday to serve our large Jewish community that tends to throw big parties on Christmas eve and then go out to eat on Christmas day. Now that's some holiday traditions I can get behind!
