Non-Jews doing the Chinese food and a movie on Christmas - cultural appropriation?

| Now the Chinese restaurants and movie theaters are crowded on Christmas because this tradition among American Jews has become a "trendy" thing for non-Jews as well? Is this a form of cultural appropriation? |

| It is pretty annoying that Christians have to take up a Jewish holiday tradition but can you blame them for going to the movies. How much family time can one take? |

| Um, no. Anyone is free to go the movies and get Chinese food on Christmas day. How weird. |

| My entire family are Christian and many of them have been going to movies on Xmas for YEARS. It has nothing whatsoever with being Jewish. It has more to do with going to see a movie you want to see when you're available to go see it. |

| I wish the Christmas-celebrators would just stay home and play with their toys and spend time with their family. Almost everything is closed - all we have is movies and chinese food. Give us this one tiny thing we found for ourselves. |

1. That's not what cultural appropriation means.
2. Do whatever you want on Dec 25. |

| Big movies come out on Xmas because lots of people go see them. It’s not just a Jewish thing. Seriously, get a clue. |

It is a Jewish thing. We don't want to be stuck with our families and its one of the few things open.

Right, but you’re about 2% of the US population, so it’s not just you that’s seeing the movies. |
