It is more common in the east and in cities, where Chinese Restaraunts are open on Christmas in Chinese neighborhoods--they take off the Chinese New Year instead. And movies are open. <BR/><BR/>In the "greater" ABQ area there used to be a few Chinese Restaraunts open, so we would do an afternoon movie followed by Chinese food. But lately, even they were closed. During the three years of the LOTR movie releases, we went to the movies and then made Chinese at home. Now the synagogue does a fundraiser for brotherhood.Elisheva Hannah Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061377724926154037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059095776066394557.post-77122332848542713042007-12-25T16:18:00.000-07:002007-12-25T16:18:00.000-07:00What a wonderful sentiment -- thank you!
