The Christmas Hamburger

The restaurant where I work is open, for a few hours, on Christmas Day.  We had our Christmas Dinner at home on Christmas Eve, so I volunteered to work Christmas Day.  We had many people in who, otherwise, had no one to spend Christmas with.  They were very happy to have a place to go, and we had a lot of fun with them.  One couple in particular came in just for coffee, but then ordered a hamburger and fries to go… with lots of raw onion.  Upon talking to the couple more, I found they were going to see his father in a nursing home.  This hamburger was a special treat for him.  I was a cook/supervisor in a nursing home for quite a while years ago.  Although we did the best we could with our food, it obviously was not restaurant food… so, I agreed that this was a special treat.  Throughout the day, we had several more people come in to eat and take food to go:  a few ham dinners and things like that.  Each of them were brining food to an elderly relative or friend who could not get out for dinner for one reason or another.  I thought the sentiment was great.  So, today, on Christmas Day, even working was a celebration of sorts.  Overall, this has been a great, and simple, Christmas season thus far.
