  1. People in China should know that going to a Chinese restaurant in the US on Christmas is a tradition for some people (highlighted in a Christmas Story). Times have changed a bit though. Many more places are open on Christmas now. Didn't used to be like that. Edit: adding stuff about American Jews. And for obvious reasons, they aren't usually busy on Christmas. And what about eating Chinese food on Christmas? It dates at least as early as 1935 when The New York Times reported a certain restaurant owner named Eng Shee Chuck who brought chow mein on Christmas Day to the Jewish Children’s Home in Newark. Over the years, Jewish families and friends gather on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Chinese restaurants across the United States to socialize and to banter, to reinforce social and familiar bonds, and to engage in a favorite activity for Jews during the Christmas holiday. The Chinese restaurant has become a place where Jewish identity is made, remade and announced.

  2. 6:21 End of year games? NBA Christmas games have always been the unofficial "start" to the season because football is on the homestretch.

  3.  @Keleneki  Waiting tables is a life changing experience. Even my parents were extremely patient in restaurants because we all did stints in restaurants as part-time jobs during and after college. My brother did back of the house. I did both front and back. My sister was a waitress.
