The Tennessee Titans Logo Aloha Tropical Shirt story reported below is NOT the “A Christmas Story” that is the best Christmas movie ever. The movie spoken of is DIE HARD a Bruce Willis shoot-em-up. The true holiday fan-loved movie is the 50’s story of the 10 year old eye-glassed bullied kid (played by Peter Billingsly )who wanted a Red Ryder pump-action BB gun for Xmas despite being told by his parents and teachers and even Santa Claus ( at the Mall) that “you’ll shot your eye out kid!”..Now, that we’ve cleared that up that Darin McGavin “A Christmas Story” is truly the BEST Christmas movie ever. Especially when Alfie turns his rage on the town bully and his father opens the prize package marked FRAGILE which he pronounces Fra-gee-lee as though it is a European object d’ art. It turns out to be a lamp shaped by a sultry woman’s leg. A movie that is filled with nostalgia that marked the post WWII America in this Indiana heartland story. I will watch it at least twice these next few weeks.

There’s a Official I Axolotl Questions Cute Axolotl Kawaii T 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.
