North American Jews have a firmly entrenched Christmas tradition of dining out at Chinese restaurants, usually before or after taking in a double feature. For tourists or expats in Israel nostalgic for this tradition, Hayam Hasini (The Chinese Sea) will help you recreate the family festivities.

The reason for the "tradition" is that the Chinese restaurants are the only ones open - except if lucky enough to have a Kosher restaurant - on Christmas Day. If a family wants to do something on this day off from work this is their only option.
