It is, it is...Christmas here in Beijing! Its Christmas all over the world! Yay. I love Christmas. The Chinese love Christmas/love to decorate for Christmas. It is evident. Santa is all over this city. And workshops and Christmas trees and decorations are popped up all over the city, too. Its kinda like the elves puked out all their Christmas goodness right here on Beijing but, I don't mind. (One thing is for sure, I can't get enough of the Christmas music playing about town. I freaking love it! Silver Bells, jingling, tingaling...!)
I am thoroughly enjoying all this Christmas to-do. But I miss the energy of home! Though there is a big, visible Christmas to-do and on-going Christmas type celebration throughout the city streets, not many people here actually celebrate Christmas. The Chinese love 'Christmas', but there isn't much Christmas love flying around. It just ain't the same.
Wait!...are you suggesting that something in China isn't what it seems?? Wow, that's a shocker!
You can have a million Christmas trees but all you need is one with spirit. And my Christmas tree is at home, in the USA, with my family and my friends. I miss you, all of you. I hope as you read this, you are happy that it is Christmas and you are with people you love. I miss you and wish you the Merriest Christmas of all.
