Christmas Eve traditions

[WinniBug]

When I was at my parents', we'd open one present and go to Midnight Mass...now that my MIL wants to alternate Christmas mornings, we can't do the Midnight Mass thing, and I don't know what it's going to be like at her house...this will be my first Christmas Eve not spent at my parents'.

I'll say it...

We do the typical 'Jewish' Christmas Eve. (aka a movie and Chinese Food). Usually we go out, look at the Christmas lights in this one neighborhood (that are fantastic!), hit up our favorite Chinese restaurant (that's in the area) and then go see a movie.

This year though, my Dad just recently had heart surgery so he can't really go outside (it's too snowy here and cold). So I'm seeing the lights early (it gets dark in the Midwest quick!), picking up carry-out from the Chinese Restaurant, and bringing some DVDs to the folks.

Nothing like being a Jew. A lonely Jew. On Christmas
