    Hm, I guess I have seen that, but never considered that it could be a high-grossing day. My wife’s family would burn us in effigy if we tried to suggest leaving the house during the day so I’ve never really thought of it much.

    If we don’t come to Christmas it’s as though we’ve killed the very concept of happiness. We’d never hear the end of it if they found out we went to a movie instead.

      I worked in a movie theater as a kid, and Christmas Day was the highest grossing day of the year. Families came in all wearing coordinated Christmas outfits, saying all sad, “Aw I hope you get to spend time with your family today.”
