Another tradition is that Jews eat Chinese food on christmas. Don’t find that bizarre at all.

Chinese restaurants (or maybe more accurately restaurants run by Chinese immigrants) used to be the only places open on Christmas. For anyone wanting to eat out, it was a defacto non-choice.

It might be seen as a tradition now, but like most traditions, the origins were practical.
