For some, eating Chinese takeout on Christmas Day isn't just a way to avoid cooking: It's about family, community and continuing a uniquely American tradition.

And while American Jews in particular have a century-old history of hitting the movies and noshing on Chinese food, the delicious custom is open to all. Detroit has plenty of options for those looking to partake.
