My Christmas Tradition

     After reading earlier posts about not having any great Christmas traditions or even much patience for the holiday you may be wondering how I spend December 25. Since I have often had to work on the day or at least that night for the overnight shift, I have made a tradition of going to see a movie. While I usually do this by myself, this year I will take a fellow movie loving buddy and then we'll catch some Chinese food afterward. Movie theaters and Oriental food restaurants are always open on Christmas, catering to those who either don't celebrate for what ever reason or burned dinner. I don't have to work this year on Christmas or the day after, but I think my tradition is worth keeping. After all, some of the year's best movies come out on or around Christmas. So, my tradition will continue to pay off in that I will be entertained and pleasantly stuffed.
