Sadly doesn't seem to happen anymore, but when I was growing up my cousins and I would strap on the skates and hit the ODR on Christmas Eve during the evening for a bit, and then on Christmas day in the afternoon, after opening gifts. Sometimes even the dads would come (albeit briefly, while doing the awkward, "careful, I have a ####y back" dad skate).
Nothing better than getting back from hockey on a cold winter day and eating Christmas turkey dinner.
