None. I would end up watching Hockey rather then spending time with my family. A day off is fine

NHL has the right idea with no games on Christmas. Just another thing we do right compared to the other leagues.

I would like NHL games on Christmas.

In our family, watching hockey IS family time.

I think its only right that the players are able to spend time with their families this time of year, just like the vast majority of others can. Especially when they spend so much time away during the season.

So no games for a few days is just fine by me.

Curious, why this one: Boston @ Vegas? Being in Vegas at Christmas time? That would be cool at least one year.

I'd love to see TB @ Florida while being in Florida.

It's nice the NHL is off. It would be better for like the World Juniors to start on the 23rd or 24th.

A 7:00 local time game would be perfect as our Christmas dinner is usually long done by then.

None. I think it's insane that the NBA has games on Christmas and I'm glad the NHL gives their players a bit of a break.

And it’s not just the players who you can make the argument of they make a lot so have to make sacrifices. It’s the whole TV production teams that are traveling as well. Seems unnecessary to put that many people away from home.

None.

I like the idea of the Christmas break.

Not only does it give time to the fans to spend time with family and visiting, almost more importantly it gives players and team/arena staff time to do the same.

I for one would enjoy watching an annual Kevin Lowe lead bag skate of the Oilers complete with players and coaches yelling at each other and Boxing day hold outs/trade demands.

Would love to watch a game today, but agree that others deserve a day off.

Don't agree with the sentiment of "spend time with your family instead of watching hockey". The 2 are closely related for many of us.
