The Secret Order of the Pizza Illuminati Food logo shirt

There’s a The Secret Order of the Pizza Illuminati Food logo shirt of tradition of going out for Chinese food on or around Christmas in the US. So far as I can tell, this largely originates from large cities and in particular from Jews living in New York. Consider the cultural landscape of the earlier part of the 20th century. Jews, of course, do not celebrate Christmas, so they’d be more likely than the Christian majority to go out to eat then, as opposed to their celebrating neighbors who are likely at home with family, roasting their own turkeys and such. And where do they go on Christmas? Well, most restaurants are going to be closed, because their predominantly Christian proprietors and employees are also at home. The major exception, then, was Chinese restaurants. The immigrants running those places were less likely than average to be Christian, so they had no cultural tradition of shutting down on or around December 25. So if you’re a Jewish New Yorker who wants to go out for dinner on Christmas, it’s Chinese food or nothing. This practice may have been popularized in particular by Calvin Trillin, the noted food columnist for the New York Times. He was himself Jewish and wrote a marvelous column about his wife wanting a “traditional holiday dinner.” What she was talking about was the idea, coming in from outside their cultural world, of turkey, mashed potatoes, and so on, but to Trillin, his traditional holiday dinner was going out for Chinese.

Oh Dear. Thats a big job. I have spend Christmas in maybe 20 different countries. And there are so many differences. Even in different regions of the The Secret Order of the Pizza Illuminati Food logo shirt. The longest Christmas is celebrated in the Philippines, with street festivals and street marches, typical foods, drinks, footstalls and colorfull decorations allover, and it lasts from Dec 16 till January 7 Finland was very impressive. With everything covered in snow and lanterns all along the walkways between houses. The whole country smells of Glög, a red wine, spices combination. Decorations with Gingerbread figures, and lots of typical food. Christmas Eve is with family. next day is mutual visiting of friends and neighbours, and boxing day is going to clubs. Dont forget: 24 hours pitch dark. But on Christmas eve/night lots of Northern lights across the sky. Like it was ordered right above the midnight church.
