This was how the “chineese food and movies” tradition started. The Christians dominated American towns, while the next two groups (Jewish and Buddhist) did not celebrate Christmas. So the Jews would go to Chinese restaurants and the Asians would go the the Jewish owned movie theaters. Thus beginning a new several decades long American tradition for any non Christian of getting chineese food and going to the movies.
