Why does my Jewish family traditionally get Chinese food on Christmas?

by Nuxul006

Probably and easy answer, but I come from a Ashkenazi Jewish family on my mothers side. Every Christmas they/we either go out to or order in Chinese food. How and why did this tradition start? It’s also popularized in media and television.
