Craving Chinese food on Christmas? These 9 Myrtle Beach area restaurants are open Monday

Depending on your family and Christmas traditions, you could eat dinner at home on Dec. 25, or as many people do, eat at a Chinese restaurant.

Dining at Chinese restaurants on Christmas Day has been a Jewish tradition since the 1800s. Jewish people tended to end up at Chinese restaurants due to the fact that neither group of people celebrated Christmas. Over the centuries, Asian restaurants have become a known place for non-Christians to eat on Christmas.
