More Christmas

The ubiquity of Christmas trees, Santa Claus, and reindeer continues to crack me up. Everyone tells me they don't really celebrate Christmas in China, but they think the trees are beautiful and the Santas are cute. People here don't even do extra shopping--meaning they don't embrace the "true meaning" of Christmas--but they do love to decorate for it!
