[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only is this not a "cultural" part of being Jewish, but there are Jews who have never done this and would never think to. It has nothing to do with Judaism and everything to do with being bored on Christmas.[/quote] I disagree. It goes beyond being bored at Xmas. It isn't part of religious Judaism, but it is at this point a part of American Jewish cultural tradition. I was in NYC over the holiday where plenty of non-Chinese restaurants were open, but I still wanted to do Chinese because that is what I associate with the holiday. Similarly, years ago I spent the holiday in a non-Christian country, but still sought out Chinese that night out of a sense of tradition. Having said that, the idea that it is cultural appropriation, or otherwise improper, for others to have Chinese on Christmas is ridiculous.[/quote]
