While many people will be celebrating Christmas on Tuesday with family and friends and Christmas dinner, there are a lot of folks who practice different religions. We found out what they'd do with the extra time off on Tuesday.

Some folks are planning on taking their family to see a movie, while others aren't planning anything at all. But one thing you can do is volunteer. One Jewish man we spoke to said he'll be volunteering tomorrow as part of the Clarksburg Lions Club, helping serve 2000 meals for the Clarksburg Community Dinner.
 
"I just like to help people. We'll also go to Morgantown and answer telephones for the Ronald McDonald House to let the people leave for a little while and enjoy the Christmas holidays with their families," Howard "Rusty" Mall told 5 News.
 
"We are a team. It tells you that we're tolerant. It demonstrates to me that when there is a need, this community and other communities across West Virginia. we rise to the occasion and we help out," said Clarksburg Lions Club International Director Steve Glass.
 
The Community Dinner is expected to serve 2000 meals tomorrow, involving 100 turkeys.
