Mike Huckabee

Many Jews have made it a family tradition to eat Chinese food on Christmas. Of course, this is the case because there aren't any other restaurants open on Christmas except for Chinese and Japanese restaurants. Well, according to the JTA Blog it turns out that presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee shares this Christmas tradition with the Jews. And this might just be the only tradition that Huckabee shares with Jewish people. JTA picked up on the story from the end of a MSNBC report about Huckabee and religion:

"The only thing that I know that for sure we're going to do that we have always done is we'll go to our church Christmas Eve service," Huckabee said. "It's a huge community-wide celebration, and we do that every year. And then we have an unusual tradition that after the Christmas Eve service we go out and eat Chinese food. Don't ask me why."

Asked if the tradition is intended to help him better relate to the Jewish community, Huckabee said, "No, it's Chinese food."

He was unaware of the Jewish Christmas tradition.
