I loved this Chinese food on Xmas. I sent it out to all my friends and family, and keep playing it over and over again. More like this, Please.
Great talent as a composer and musician.

As a cultural warrior - I am glad that JTA is covering Christmas parties and NOT holiday parties. Thank you Amiram Eden and Bill O’Reily.

I am 58 yrs old, Jewish all my life. Even observant and I have never heard of Chinese Food for Xmas. When I was a kid we volunteered at the local hospital so the Goim could enjoy their holiday, or at least a few of them.

We used to attend the Sino - Gogue before heading out for Chinese food.
