Most people think that Jews order Chinese food and go out to the movies on Christmas Day. This is certainly not true for my family, but for others it could be. Usually my family is in Palm Springs (another thing people think Jews do––go somewhere warm, which could be true) because my grandma has a house there and we have a big Christian dinner with most of the family living or visiting there.
Last year I wanted to be home during Winter Break to work at the stables. My family went to our cousins' house in Vancouver for Christian dinner, and we had fresh turkey stuffed with a quail. Or something like that, I can't remember. Otherwise my famjam didn't celebrate the holidays, except for making latkes during Hanukah.
This year I am crazy busy working at a lot of different barns and housesitting a few places, so I don't have time to go away. But I will be kind of on vacation because I will be sleeping at someone else's house for about three weeks. I will be making money for the horse I have not found yet. But have no fear! I am looking at a horse on the weekend and she looked really good. My trainer and I are super excited to go and see her.
According to my mom, we will be having Christian dinner, but on Shabbat. This is what we Jews will be doing over Christmas.
