Wait, as someone who’s not Jewish, why Chinese specifically? Is it like a Philly food exchange where they have Jewish food and you have Chinese food?

Because traditionally Chinese immigrants didn't celebrate Christmas, so their restaurants would be open.

it mainly comes down to the fact that we(jews) don’t celebrate Christmas but everyone’s off work anyways so a cheap low effort things to do is a big family meal at the only place that’s open (Chinese)

I’m pretty sure there is one close to lower Merrion where you can take regional rail to it. I think UPenn chabad might have one for pots and plates tho(not 100% sure)
