Ticket giveaway: Matzo Bash 2009

“Why is tonight different from all other nights?”

That question may be easy for Jews to answer on Passover, but it’s a whole different animal when it’s posed on Christmas Eve. While much of the world is trimming the tree and toasting the upcoming holiday, many non-Christians find themselves passing by shuttered storefronts with nothing to do but consider which Chinese restaurant they’ll be patronizing the following day.

But it doesn’t have to be this way, especially not in Chicago. For the fifth straight year, the Matzo Bash is here to save the Semites from boredom. The six-hour party (8 p.m.-2 a.m.) at Enclave includes complimentary Absolut cocktails and hors d’oeuvres (via Steve’s Deli) from 8-10 p.m. and live entertainment, DJs and dancing all night. And since you likely won’t have to work the next day, you’ll also get complimentary admission to the after-party at Cuvee.
