Christmas in Nanjing

Many of my students have asked me if I am going home for Christmas. I tell them it would be a little expensive to fly to the US for one day, plus I have to teach for eight hours on Christmas. Then they ask if I will be home sick during Christmas. My thoughts usually turn to endless traffic jams, hearing Alvin and the Chipmunks singing Christmas carols or of having my mail box being stuffed with Xmas sale fliers and I just tell them not really. But I think to myself; Christmas is where you find. It is in the sharing, the peace and the joy. Here are some examples of Christmas in China.

I will keep adding photos until the day or so after Christmas. So Check back for more.



This is not a Christmas meal or anything like that. But this bowl of tomato, egg and noodle soup looked so warm and festive that I decided to include with this Christmas entry.
