I love celebrating non-Christmas! The best part is the half-price Christmas candy, the reindeer Peeps and the chocolate-covered marshmallow Santa’s that mom and I used to fill our grocery cart with on the 26th. My non-Jew spouse never liked holidays so there’s never been an argument for celebrating Christmas… although the couple of times my sons spent Christmas with their non-Jew grandparents they had a blast but were very confused about the crèche… I will admit that I am thrilled my husband lets me put up a tree in the reception of the hotel and I get to decorate it. Anyway…I wish you a very joyous and food-filled non-Christmas!
If in Mexico, multiply logistics hassle by 5.

A few years ago I started celebrating Christmas with my half-Christian cousins. It’s a lot of fun, but I can’t say I don’t miss the Chinese food
