There’s a bit of a tradition forming in the USA to go out for Chinese food on Christmas (or Eve). Because from roughly the '70s to 2000s those were about the only places open that day. AIUI the practice started among Jewish folks and later spread to the Gentiles.
Back about 1991 I was working a trip and we arrived in NYC at about 7pm Christmas eve. The hotel was in one of the predominantly Jewish areas in Brooklyn. The hotel restaurant was closed for the holiday and we were famished. Out into the snow we went. Stumbled upon a Chinese joint with a big neon sign advertising that everything was Kosher. It was packed. We got the table near the kitchen, probably because we didn’t exactly resemble the rest of the clientele. The food was wonderful. And much appreciated at the end of a long day.
