- vl 13y agoOn couple Christmases I was not at home and the only open places we found to eat something were (packed) Chinese restaurants. So there is pragmatic explanation for this tradition.
- thaumasiotes 13y agoYeah, I've never understood this. I think of going out to eat somewhere nice as something I'd like to do on a major holiday (or when celebrating anything, really)... but the only local restaurant that stays open for Christmas has "high prices" as its only selling point -- notably, not "good food".

- dclowd9901 13y agoAnd like Xmas, I feel bad for the poor schmucks who have to be there and can't be with friends and family for the event, so I often feel guilty.
- ubernostrum 13y agopeople that don't worship^wcare about football Saw a tweet earlier that I can't find now, unfortunately, to the effect that "the people who do care about the Super Bowl will be watching it, instead of watching your tweets explaining how much you don't care".
- securingsincity 13y agoPBS's airing of Downton Abbey has been capitalizing on ratings during the Super Bowl for the last couple years.
