The best part of my family's Chinese-food-on-Xmas tradition is that every year as we're exiting the restaurant filled with outwardly Jewish-looking Jews (usually featuring a rabbi or two, as well), the restaurant staff never fail to wish us all a Merry Christmas. I look forward to it each year. The probably Buddhist Chinese servers wishing the rabbis and congregants a Merry Christmas. It's American; it's brilliant.
