I went to a Chinese Restaurant owned by immigrants
And they were playing Christmas Carols over a sound system.

I know they could be Christians, but likely aren't. Don't they know about the War on Christmas? Sheesh! Next thing you know, they'll be speaking more and more English!!!!!

What's with these immigrants?????

1. That's funny because I have a personal theory that the Chinese own Christmas
and they do. Let's face it all your decorations everything Christmas people buy, where they do their shopping (China-Mart) let's face it's all got a "Made in China" tag somewhere on it.

4. I'm sure you understand this but it's not a slap to the chinese
hell my fiance who is right here next to me playing Guitar Hero at an obnoxiously loud volume is half Chinese. I'm just stating it like I see it ya know.

Overall Christmas is whatever anyone wants to make out of it..or not make out of it I really don't care but the fact is the major bennies go to that nation's factories and sweatshops when it comes to this holiday.

8. Both! They put English and then a Chinese translation
I don't see how they expect to take over the US if they continue to insist on knowing English.

6. Didn't Jews also write or at least sing a number of Christmas songs?
"I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" to mind.
All I'm saying is that being Christian doesn't necessarily have anything to with Christmas carols.

11. Remember the movie "A Christmas Story?"
The family ended up in a Chinese restaurant due to the dog eating the turkey.

The Chinese restaurant was of course the only one open. The waiters sang "Deck the Halls" and of course they sang Fa ra ra ra ra

:rofl:
