Many Christians spend Christmas Eve traveling to, or staying home with their families.
But to those that do not celebrate Christmas, Christmas Eve is just another day of the week, except with less people around. Thus Christmas Eve has become the biggest party night of the year for Jewish New Yorkers, especially Jewish singles looking to meet fellow tribe members.
Here are a few options….
