I just had an idea for a restaurant management game where you manage a Chinese food restaurant, and it follows the real-world date system starting sometime in August or September as opposed to “day 1, day 2,” etc. This has no impact on anything gameplay-wise apart from certain days being designated as vacation days or w/e, until Christmas rolls around. Everything leading up to it has customers and anyone else you talk to in-game talking about winter vacation plans, and what they’re doing over Christmas, and they hope you enjoy your break, etc etc.

And then on Christmas Day one of the single largest surges of customers in the game takes place in the form of Jews who swarm the place for their tradition of Chinese food on Christmas

the entire purpose of the buildup is to try and fool those who don’t know about this tradition into losing out on one of the most profitable days in the entire game

#idk I just think it would be funny #I know that the reason this tradition came abt #is bc Chinese restaurants don’t usually close on Christmas #(in the US that is. this is all in the context of ‘it’s in the US’)#and so Jews looking to eat out have far less options and get funneled into the Chinese food #and it’s a neat consequence of the way the US as a society operates #but it’s also hilarious to me #and imagining that it could actually fool someone is even funnier #it’d be unrealistic to not have SOMEONE mention it ig but I don’t care
