Write a scene from a rom com in which two women fall in love while celebrating "Jewish Christmas" complete with a meal of Chinese food and a trip to the movies

It was the night before Christmas, and Rachel and Sarah were getting ready to celebrate "Jewish Christmas" - the tradition of going out for Chinese food and a movie on Christmas Day, since they didn't celebrate the holiday traditionally. They had been friends for years, but as they sat down to their feast of lo mein and wonton soup, Sarah couldn't help but feel a spark of something more.

"You know, Rachel," Sarah said, twirling a strand of noodles around her fork. "I've always loved doing this with you. It's become one of my favorite traditions."

Rachel smiled. "I feel the same way. It's always been just the two of us, celebrating our own little holiday."

As they finished their meal and headed to the movie theater, Sarah couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more between them. She had always considered Rachel to be a close friend, but now she was starting to realize that her feelings ran deeper.

At the theater, they settled into their seats with a tub of popcorn and a box of Junior Mints, ready to enjoy the romantic comedy that was playing. As they laughed at the antics on screen, Sarah couldn't help but sneak glances at Rachel, feeling her heart race at the thought of confessing her feelings.

Finally, during a particularly sappy moment in the movie, Sarah leaned over and whispered in Rachel's ear. "I have to tell you something. I think I'm falling in love with you."

Rachel turned to Sarah with a surprised look, but then a slow smile spread across her face. "I think I'm falling in love with you too," she said, taking Sarah's hand in hers.

As they left the theater, arm in arm, Sarah knew that this Jewish Christmas was one that they would always remember.

Occurs to me that Christian cultural hegemony can be pretty well encapsulated by the fact that it is normal for people to say "Happy Chanukah to those who celebrate," and it is normal for many of those same people to say, "Merry Christmas, everyone!"

Annual Wayne Enterprises Winter Feast

Tonight is the annual Wayne Enterprises Winter Feast. We all know it's for Christmas, but both Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake-Wayne are Jewish, so they don't call it that. The two of them are running the event and Spoiler and Black Bat are patrolling to make sure no one can interrupt the festivities.

Red Hood has been seen once again being dragged around by street kids. One of them has given him a Santa hat and someone has stuck a giant candy cane sticker to the back of his jacket. It's like he's a softie or something.

Happy holidays, everyone!

In Steve and Bucky's interfaith home, Christmas dinner is always a truly staggering amount, and assortment, of takeaway foods from a kosher Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn.

The two of them skillfully intertwining Rogers family, Barnes family, and more general Jewish-American, traditions of their shared childhood—enriching them with the wonders of modern conveniences.

They invite all their friends over, letting everyone fill up their plates with whatever, and as much as, they want of the delicious food. All of them gather together in their cozy projector room in the attic, settling down to watch cheesy Hallmark movies and enjoy each other's company.

Jewish convert thoughts on Christmas

I, as someone raised with Christmas for all 19 years of my life, actually giggle when people bring up its specialness.

this isn't me discounting the very special memories that come up and the beauty humans have made it out to be. But there is nothing really inherently special to it. What do I mean by that?

When you ask a lot of people what is so cool about Christmas, they're going to list a few commonalities-

the feeling of togetherness

warm meals with families and friends

good will towards others

a break from the outside world for just a little bit

And I hear and think about these things. And I realize "oh! This just sounds like a regular shabbat!"

the very same warm feelings I've grown up with every December 25th is the same I feel heading to a rabbi's house with college friends every Friday. The generosity is there each time with a shared meal and putting away the world from sunset to sunset.

I don't think I'll be able to completely move away from Christmas celebration because of family ties. It will definitely still be in my life, albeit at a distance and not something I'll engage in formally. But I'm excited for the day I'm independent and can eat Chinese on December 25th rather than catch myself up in the saturated green and red.

I can't believe it's only Aug 12th and already there's a Xmas post on my dash.

Every single year I have to get through the non-Christian erasure that is Xmas season, the way that everyone acts as if the whole world celebrates Xmas, every year I have to feel like I'm being mean and raining on people's parades when I refuse to join in, or when I try to (as politely as I can) refuse to be greeted with Xmas wishes, every year I have to grit my teeth as every show has a Xmas special, every app and software has festive events and sales, changing into special Xmas versions of their icons, every media outlet wants to tell me about the joys of Xmas shopping and tourism, meanwhile I'm biting my tongue not to blurt out repeatedly that Xmas is when historically my people were targeted, brutalized and sometimes even MURDERED... and apparently Xmas season just keeps getting longer.

I don't mind that people who are religiously or culturally Christian celebrate it. I kinda mind it when non-Christians do, because that strikes me as the effects of commercialism and cultural colonialism, but hey. Other people are independent individuals, it's up to them to make their own choices, even if I personally make a different choice. And I'd never make anyone personally feel bad about their choice, either. What bothers me is that it's basically IMPOSSIBLE to opt out of Xmas celebrations if you're one of the people who don't want to participate. They're everywhere. They're in every place, they're in so many spaces that I otherwise love. And they just keep starting earlier every year. I wanna bang my head against the wall.

This is what religious / cultural coercion feels like. Yeah, even if it's done unintentionally by many.

I want a Yom Kippur gothic horror movie so badly. I want a Byronic antihero played by a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company tormented by their sins but fighting to deny it, finding that food turns to ash and water turns to dust in their mouth, finding all the books in their house have turned to lists of their misdeeds, all the foliage around them turning brown and blowing away in the autumn wind, the darkest poems of Heinrich Heine as a motif, ghosts of those they’ve wronged haunting them out of the corner of their eye, with one person left to whom they might be able to undo the harm they’ve caused, and I want a trailer with a haunting choral rendition of Kol Nidre played over it.

#jewish #horror movies #yom kippur #i saw the trailer for the fx christmas carol and that vibe would work so much better for yom kippur!

Working for a government body where they are trying to minimize assumptions about culture, it never gets old seeing business notices that are like “Many adherents of Christian faith will begin celebrating their 40-day Lenten season, a 40 day period of penitence, self denial, and self-examination. Click here to learn more about Lent.”

Like yes briefly transport me into a world where Christian normativity doesn’t exist and I need lent explained to me every year, I love it 😌

#I’m pretty sure they do all Christian jewish Muslim and Hmong holidays #and I appreciate that we are being treated the same #the one explaining Christmas especially delights me
