@Transition It is against the rules of all things geek to announce a joke you're keeping to yourself. Once announced, build must follow!

@Marvin_Brock What I want is that Apple pay my mortgage. That'd be a nice gift ;)

Double espressos and Americanos being served at Mols! Someone bring the sufganiyot (jelly donuts)? I didn't get any as I'd eat them all.

A reminder to pay my overdue mortgage email followed by an Apple ad for last minute Christmas gifts. I see a relationship there! Don't you?

@frdelrosario Totally. But when it involves opening eyes about important things, then I'm willing to sacrifice the wit. For a bit.
@danoprey They're the only type of restaurant open (historically) in the US on Christmas.
@hirsch_c Oh, the match! That makes sense now, yes, that's bashert of course. The candles shall burn for eight nights :)
@hirsch_c I don't understand. Tonight is the first night. What's Basheret got to do with anything?
How would you answer this? "Why wouldn't Jewish families just have Christmas dinner at home?" #studyInCulture

@gregferrell Exactly! But I had to explain to someone who didn't understand at all.
@jonstieglitz Hilarious! But there you have it. Odd new social traditions emerge in multicultural environments. :D
It's a bit of a Jewish tradition to eat Chinese food on Christmas. Mostly US but I imagine in other areas of the world too. @commadelimited

Jewish families don't eat Christmas dinner, that's why, @commadelimited

@sarahebourne Thank you. I hope we all get it. That reads oddly ;)
Lots of jokes re Jews and Chinese food, @commadelimited. The classic "I see three Chinese restaurants!" "Must be a Jewish neighborhood."
@commadelimited It's a well-known tradition amongst many Jews to go eat Chinese food on Christmas, since they're the only restaurants open!
