Christmas in the PRC

You may think that Christmas in China is non-existent. Think again... it is alive and well in China. Christmas may not have the same feel like the States but the Chinese are following along with Christmas trees, shopping, and having fun with friends and family. There are even Christmas Eve services here.

The thing I like most about Christmas in China is the opportunity to really focus on the true meaning. I get so caught up in the presents and the culture we have made in our Western way of "doing Christmas" that I often forget the most important thing. This Christmas it has been a refreshing time of remembering what is most important. Sure, I miss my fam and all the good eats and snow but I'll still have a lot of chances to see and experience that. I love my fam and our Christmas traditions.

Below, is a picture of a Christmas party some friends and I put on. We had some good Chinese food, did a gift exchange, shared, and played four on the couch. Good times.

Christmas Day, I was invited over by some friends from Atlanta and we had a traditional Christmas meal and she even made me some Apple Pie... good stuff.

I hope you all had a Wonderful Christmas!!!
