Merry Christmas from China!
24 DecGreat Christmas Eve! 
🎅 Went to breakfast and shopping with mom. Saw totally cute gift ideas!! 
😊 Then my friend Harry came by and we made peanut butter and ritz cookies, had delicious dinner, walked the river looking at the lights, saw the fireworks, etc. ❄ Even saw an electrical fire! 
😱 Then the lovely cafe owner’s wife gave me a cupcake for Christmas 
😍 Even though China doesn’t really celebrate Christmas, lots of locals stopped to wish me Merry Christmas. Then woke up this morning to awesome gifts, delicious breakfast treats from a friend, and a spa day. Tonight I party with some friends here at the foreign housing. A real wonderful life!
My Student Serena made me this wreath – isn’t it adorable?!
