is it cuz he has a really big chin?

He was said to have taken too many shots to the chin during his boxing career...

Q. this mob boss served as boss from the 20's to the 70's and was a member of the commision during that tenure,,,

The Chin got his name because his first name is pronounced, in Italian, as Vin-CHEN-zo.
The long-serving Don was Stefano Magaddino.
Q. What was Magaddino's "legitimate" business?

Depends on who you listen to. I've seen stories stating the moniker comes from his prominent chin (and this theory makes most sense to me - wiseguys love to make reference to physical traits), and also stories alluding to the fact his nickname came from his boxing career (ie. he had a weak chin and was knocked out a lot - this is less likely because he had a decent boxing record).

Magaddino's business was funeral parlors.

Q. What was special in reagrds to Christmas and the Mafia esp in times of conflict.

There's considerable mystery about how many (4?5?6?) men were involved in Maranzano's assassination. They only certainty was that they were led by Samuel (Red) Levine. Earlier, Joe (the Boss) Masseria was assassinated by Bugsy Siegel, Giuseppe (Joe Adonis) Doto and Abraham (Bo) Weinberg. Both hits were ordered by Charlie Luciano and arranged by Meyer Lansky.

Q. In whose house was Bugsy Siegel killed (not his own house--the movie had it wrong).
