People enjoying last years free Christmas dinner... |
The big question this time of year is why do my people (Jewish people) eat Chinese food on Christmas?
It’s a tradition that started since most Chinese people are not Christian and do not celebrate the holiday. Therefore those in the restaurant business stay open when literally everything from shopping malls, movie theaters, bowling alleys, sporting events, public libraries, public pools, even grocery and drug stores are closed on Christmas.
Christmas day, where will you be eating? I will be at Kapa'a Chicken in a Barrel!. They say Jewish people (my people) eat Chinese food on Christmas, not me. I like Chicken in A Barrel. Here's why;
It is the owners Mike Pierce and his Ohana's way of giving back to the community, free Christmas dinner for all, not just the needy.
The Coconut wireless reports there will be close to 400 pounds of turkey,” 300 pounds of mashed potatoes and all the fixings; stuffing, corn, green beans, salad and were hoping they have the same ono-licious cookies they had last year.
Whether your a multi-millionaire, homeless, or a Jewish person sick of Chinese food on Christmas, all are welcome!
