... because you can go fishing

Go Fish!We have a holiday tradition called the Four Fish Feast.  Every family member is responsible for creating a fish dish and a few weeks before the Feast, we trek down to Chinatown to case out the freshest fish in the city.  Although there are a ton of seafood sources in the city, we like Chinatown for cheap, fresh fish (and yes, often very much alive fish).  This year sea bass, trout, scallops and calamari are on the menu.  Other holiday traditions beyond the gluttony?  A visit with ABC Home and Carpet's Santa (he's the real deal), Macy's at midnight, brunch at Norma's and of course red velvet cupcakes!  For the young people, each receives one box of presents for ever year they've spent on this earth.  Too bad the tradition doesn't extend to grown-ups or i'd be expecting a ton of boxes.  Ah, old age.
