fred-erick-frankenstein: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 :) [ID: a post from Memes of Judaism (@/MemesOfJudaism) which reads: “TRADITION! Tradition (fortune cookie emoji, Chinese takeout emoji, dumpling emoji)” attached is a picture of a handwritten sign in a store window reading: “The Chinese restaurant association of the United States would like to extend our thanks to the Jewish people. We do not completely understand your dietary customs… but we are proud and grateful that your GOD insist you eat our food on Christmas. Happy holidays! (Yin and yang symbol, Star of David)” End ID]Image description by @ignorance-on-fire -- source link
