What do Jews and other people of a religious minority do on Christmas Eve?

I just ate two home cooked goose legs with my mom and are watching National Geographic Channel on famous Roman spears…Tomorrow we have a good dinner at a hotel restaurant.

I worked on my armoured exosuit.

According to Seinfeld, they eat Chinese food.

@ragingloli What is an armoured exosuit? haha

@ohVaNiLLaGoRiLLa
This is one.

@ragingloli What if you really need to pee when you are in one… are you designing something better than a standard catheter as well?

College Football.

I just finished the Sunday NYTimes crossword, and am reading a book. Let the Christians celebrate. I’m going to bed early.

They eat Chinese food and maybe go to a movie. This also informative video may be helpful in answering you question.

The internet is 24/7/365.

Fluther seems to be popular at the moment.

Here’s your answer – Chinese Food on Christmas by Brandon Walker.

@SavoirFaire Yes indeed it does. That is what I am doing at the moment, occasionally looking at fluther while reading a book.

I went out to dinner with my husband. There were actually a lot of Christians there. Most Americans have Christmas Dinner Christmas Day night, with the exception of the Italians and Hispanics in our country make Christmas Eve dinner the big dinner and gift giving. My husband still doesn’t get it, he is Mexican, for him Christmas is the 24th. I guess some families do Christmas Eve with one side of the family and the Christmas Day with the other. Sounds stressful.

Tomorrow I will be dropping in on one set of friends in the middle of the day, and then a Christmas party (small party) with other friends.

Sometimes we have Christmas with my Husband’s parents and family who celebrate the holiday.

It is true that Chinese food is popular with Jews at Christmas time both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Christmas Day really is the biggy because everything else is usually closed.

Last year we went to Vegas for Christmas. Place was full of Jews and Asians. I saw Jerry Seinfeld at Caesar’s. LOL.

Cruises are popular too.

Disney World if you live in FL. I don’t think I ever went for Christmas, but I have been the for Thanksgiving.

When I lived in Boca Raton, FL, a place that is about 25% Jewish, one of the night clubs had a big Matzoh Ball on Christmas Eve, where mostly the younger set came out to dance the night away. But, you can find all ages there.

Pull overly complicated capers/heists involving impervious safes and/or enormous diamonds.

@LuckyGuy I just watched your video. So funny. So true. I always say Christmas is the boringest day of the years. I think I said it 5 times on fluther so far this year on various Q’s. I forgot going to the movies I have done that a few times in the past. In FL we went to the beach a couple of times.

The Chinese Restaurant Association thanked the Jewish customers for their patronage. :)

Probably the same thing all the goyim do on Passover.

I’m a girl born in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn in 1936. Even then, the Chinese Restaurants flourished on Brighton Beach Avenue. We ate in the local Chinese Restaurant. Sometimes, we went to Coney Island and ate in Nathans. So where do you think we ate this Christmas Eve living in the Finger Lakes? You guessed it! The local Chinese Restaurant! (actually we had take out ) I wonder why people of the Jewish faith just love the food of the orient so much?

@GladysMensch The two cannot be compared. The country does not shut down, or practically shut down on passover. Everyone is not wishing everyone a happy Passover for weeks, leading up to a day that the majority of the country is hustling and bustling for.

@comity Is it fairly easy to keep kosher eating Chinese food while still partaking in ethnic food?

@Aethelflaed Most of the people of Jewish faith that I knew didn’t keep Kosher. There are Reformed, Conservative and Orthodox Jews. Orthodox did, some Conservatives did, but Reformed didn’t. My mother’s family were Reformed Jews.

@comity Well it used to be one of the only places open.

I’m an atheist. This year I went and visited my dad for Christmas eve, we watched a movie, and he opened one of his presents (he knew it was chocolate, and he didn’t want to wait until Christmas day to eat it).
