Mom said she doesn't want to make a turkey for christmas

>Mom said she doesn't want to make a turkey for christmas
>She's ordering chinese food instead

I don't know how to feel about this. It doesn't feel good though. Why break traditions? You can eat chinese food any day of the year

if you're so passionate about it why don't you purchase and cook the fucking turkey?

Then you make a turkey. It's surprisingly easy unless you want to get fancy with it.

Common tradition for Jewish families. She's been compromised OP

Does she have a job? If not, then she should definitely make that fucking turkey

Traditions and rituals are important; however, if these traditions and rituals serve only to bring anxiety or stress then they aren't worth it.

Talk to your mom, she likely dislikes the how much work she has to put in, but if you make it clear that the tradition is important to you (and the family) it will likely reinvigorate her by creating a special role for her.

Be sure to thank her and make her feel appreciated if she goes through with it.

We eat ham on Christmas.


Love eating ham.

Yum.

TURKEY IS FOR THANKSGIVING. YOU EAT HAM ON CHRISTMAS YOU DEGENERATE FUCKS.

We usually get Thai food.
t. Jew

Get a fucking ham in the mail, like a civilized human being.

You have to go back.

It's true; high Christian holidays should always preferably be celebrated with pork.

But some people have a turkey tradition, and we as Christians should be forgiving.

WE EAT BOTH HAM AND TURKEY AND TOURTIÈRE ON CHRISTMAS

but i guess not this year
thanks this sounds like it might work. I don't think she understands how important christmas is to me. I just hope it's equally important for the rest of my family

I second this notion.

Why aren't you eating goose on christmas?

She's obviously challenging you to step up and make the turkey. Quit being a little bitch and do it.

I'd be well up for that. I fucking love Chinese food.

But yeah you could always just do this: It's not fucking hard

so offer make a turkey yourself you worthless fuck

At some point you have to be an adult and help take over 'cause mom's going to get old and die anyway. Helping with the cooking is a great way to keep everybody who wants to still do it excited to be working together, and begins the process of inevitable transition of duties.

CHING CHONG WING WONG LEAF U ASIAN NAW

I don't blame her. I'm guessing that when you reach a certain age doing the same thing year after year gets awfully monotonous and you'll want to do something different to feel like you're not stuck in that Green Day video "redundant"

I'm actually starting to dislike Christmas already because of this and I'm only 23. As soon as I heard that fucking stupid fucking Pogues song I thought oh shit here we go same shit again this year.

I just don't know how people can feel like they're moving forward with their life when all the annual holidays and birthdays and tv shows makes the years seem almost identical and blend into each other.

this

stop being a degenerate christmas turkey-eating leaf and eat ham (or lasagna and shit) on christmas and seafood christmas eve

utter faggot

Only care about tourtiere desu sempai

ya so sick of being stuck in the Green Day video "american idiot". Wish we had Obama for another 4 years so I don't have 2 be 1.

Make it yourself you stupid fuck

Dude, just make a turkey and upstage the fuck out of her bullshit takeout. What kind of man doesn't know how to cook meat?

>chinese food
>chinese
>canada

Checks out

Sounds comfy as fuck, is your mom willing to adopt?

>not eating lobster and other sea food on christmas

It's like you want to have shit taste desu

How long has your mother been a degenerate whore, OP?

kill her. if my mum told me that kind of bullshit, it's would have been a bullet in the left eye before she can even wink.

That's Christmas eve when you're still supposed to be fasting. Christmas day is for meat.

>just had turkey for thanksgiving
>make another one for christmas
Having a big bbq rib dinner on christmas desu senpai gonna be dank

What are you talking about, chinese food is awsome.
Be happy that she even feeds you.
Ask if you could like help her with doing it?
I think she would appreciate it.

You're supposed to eat ham, you heathen

If OP lets her get away with this, next year she'll has his damn foreskin off and they'll be spitting on a effigy of the baby jesus or some shit.

If I didn't live with the old man I wouldn't even put up a Christmas tree, I fucking hate holidays/birthdays/weddings/any celebrations

Well I always say they're all yellow on the outside.

Just like your people are all reptiles on the inside.

My grandma always wanted to be the one "cooking" (she just bought a ham from walmart), so my mom never could.

Then she got old and couldnt cook anything anymore, but if we try to cook something she complains and wants the ham shes used to.

So we get crummy walmart ham and dont have the money to make the good ham nor do we want to hear her complain after we work so hard to cook everything.

My holidays have always been shitty.


This. You shouldnt have to but its the reality. When other people fail you youre gonna need to fill in the gaps yourself

I'll be totes honest senpai, I've been going to the local sushi restraunt every christmas for the last 6 years since they have 50% off Christmas discount on all you can eat sushi. $15 for infinisushi is hard to turn down.

in my family we don't celebrate the holidays on the dates that they actually are. we celebrate when we can all get off together

this is typical for jewish city folk

any jews care to explain your bizarre tradition of eating chinese food on christmas? pretty random desu

If you're in an uncucked state you should be able to get a baller ham from your local farmers market for pretty cheap. Always buy bone-in though as boneless is essentially welfare tier food. Get a hamhock too for beans. Make pineapple stuffing, or sauce if you're less adventurous, and use the bone and whatever ham you can't or don't cut off as stock for either split pea, Manhattan clam chowder, or ham and bean soup and keep it frozen or canned for snow storms or generally cold days.

And tell grandma to shut her trap, if she can't cook then she can't bitch.

Turkey is for Thanksgiving, Ham is for Christmas.

Order the Sweet & Sour Pork.

pretty jewish thing desu

People eat turkey in leafland?

They're heathens.

The non bait answer is that, historically, Jews and Asians (mostly Chinese in the case of NY, West coast might vary) were pretty much the only two groups that never celebrated Christmas. You couldn't get a pizza on Christmas, and Jews would naturally have off work because their company they work for would be closed, so they would prefer to take the day off and not cook. Chinese restaurants were always open, so that's what they went for. Thus the meme began.

Of course, that's changed in the last 20-30 years or so as many Jews and Asians now celebrate Christmas along with everyone else, as it's become more commercialized and moved away from the faith.

Source: not a Jew, mom grew up on Long Island and had grew up near a Jewish neighborhood and went to a school with lots of Jews.

Cook the turkey your self then?

>how important christmas is to me
>not important enough to cook the turkey yourself
