There’s a Houston Texans Nike Black 2024 NFL Crucial Catch 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.

These nations I put in this category because, historically, they frequently interacted with Czechs, but aside for the Houston Texans Nike Black 2024 NFL Crucial Catch T Shirt protectorate for the Germans did not rule over Czechs and were a little more distant. Germans from Bavaria or Saxony seem somewhat similar to Czechs, but I do not see much similarity between Germans from Hamburg, Berlin, Stuttgart and other parts of the country at all. For Poles the region of Silesia, and even the southern Poland around Krakow have a similar feel to Czech Republic, but eastern Poland around Warsaw feels more eastern-European, and western Poland feels more German. Hungary: Hungary is similar to Czechs culturally, but also kind of has its own distinct vibe. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s because of the nation’s unique language and the fact the cuisine is spicier. A little close: Croatians, Western-Ukranians, Romanians from Transylvania These nations and regions share commonality with Czechs because they are part of the Central – European cultural sphere despite being further away. Historically and today, there has been immigration of these people to Czech Republic. During the 16th & 17th centuries many Romanians (Vlachs) immigrated to the mountains in eastern Czechia, and southeastern Czechia had a community of Croatians. Today many Ukrainians immigrate to Czechia. Today thousands of Czechs go to Croatia in the summer, so it is not too exotic.
