The notion dates back to the early 20th century when Chinese restaurants were just about the only eateries open on Christmas. Since the immigrant owners and workers didnt observe the holiday, they would open to accommodate customers who also didnt celebrate Christmas, leading to a longstanding stereotypic American Jewish tradition, reinforced in popular culture. However, it wasnt only Jewish families. Theres a memorable scene in the iconic 1983 movie A Christmas Story in which the Parker family ends up at Bo Ling Chop Suey Palace on Christmas because the neighbors dogs absconded with their Christmas turkey.Movie theatersMost movie theaters will be open on Christmas Day as Hollywood studios traditionally rely on Christmas moviegoing as part of their holiday haul. Some notable movies that will be playing include A Complete Unknown, staring Timothe Chalametas 19-year-old Bob Dylan when he arrives in New York City for the first time; Nosferatu, staring Nicholas Hoult as a man searching for a house for a wealthy Transylvanian count; and The Fire Inside, a biopic that follows professional boxer Claressa T-Rex Shields as she trains for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
