imsopopfly:cowoscare: This looks so wholesome but I’m lacking the context needed to identify why- Jewish people don’t celebrate Christmas, to them it’s just another day. So they often would want to go out to eat, but a lot of restaurants here in the US close on Christmas. Chinese restaurants are usually open on Christmas though and they usually have a lot of kosher options, making them one of the prime eating out options. So we started going to Chinese restaurants on Christmas out of convenience and it evolved into a tradition :) not only convenience, it’s also bc Jewish and Chinese immigrant neighborhoods were oftentimes near each other! A form of kinship was created through us both being othered in society and forced to create our own communities -- source link
