So we always went out for Chinese food on Christmas day and kosher deli on Christmas eve. Sometimes we went to the movies. When my husband was in college, he'd go skiing.
For at least 15 years, we've spent Christmas Eve with friends who would host a Christmas eve party for a gaggle of stragglers of various religious backgrounds, without family nearby etc. Since the plague that's been a non starter.
Maybe next year.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.
