GrubHub (GRUB) says Chinese food is 152% more popular on Christmas Day than it is throughout the rest of the year. In fact, three of the top five days of the year to order Chinese food are Christmas, Christmas Eve and New Year's Day, followed by "smoking holiday" (4/20) and Labor Day.
By far the most popular item for Chinese food orders is General Tso's Chicken. According to GrubHub -- which features roughly 30,000 restaurants on its site across more than 800 cities in the U.S. -- it's actually the 4th most popular dish on the site, all year-round.

In the USA, just about everything else is closed on those days. Including grocery stores.
I would shop ahead.
The modern war on Christmas is waged by secularists, but did you know the original war on Christmas was actually waged by Christians? Have you ever wondered how the first American settlers celebrated Christmas? It might surprise you to find out that they didn’t.
most holidays are appropriated from earlier traditions. we should appropriate more of them for new purposes, such as more paid holidays. Americans work too many days of the year.
Shame on you, America didnt become #1 because of holidays, but because of hard work! :2razz:
To the thread OP. 100/% NONSENSE. Christmas is based on a pagan ritual celebrating the winter solstice. Most religious historical scholars agree that Junior was born in the spring...not during the winter time.
Another interesting, in depth history of how the holiday of Christmas developed from Roman pagan customs...
And in 3 or 4 BC!
Or 6 AD, in the Gospel of Luke. (The census was 6 c.e. no matter what kind of 'if then maybe' speculations put forth).

Show me the money, fake volunteer man.
Happy pagan Solstice Celebration!!! :mrgreen:...In the spirit of the holiday season I'll ignore the unnecessary insult and pass on addressing who the actual fake is, although a 'real' Christian would most likely not make light of the good others do for the downtrodden, needy, ant 'at risk' youth in our society. shame on you for that, but certainly par for the course considering the hateful source.

A dose of your own medicine goes down hard, doesn't it, fake volunteer man? Yeah, I saw you bragging about how wonderful you are and I thought I'd take the opportunity to teach you a lesson, but have so little self awareness you don't realize I am imitating you.
Try to be better.
Yawn. Christmas is utterly and irredeemably pagan. And that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh, it is.
Still, it's fun to watch self-described Christians try and pretend it isn't.
Happy Holidays!
Nope. Your Christmas is pagan. Mine is not.
Here is a lesson for you. Hate hurts the hater, not the hated. I am at peace with myself. Clearly you are not..your loss..and with that I leave you to wallow in your self-loathing and misery.
