Over the weekend, I started a bit of a post in my charming (translation: lazy) "make another list" style about our Christmas in China. Jane then completed and posted a much more detailed and superior version (see below), but I thought that I'd post my list as well, for posterity's sake.
Cool things about Christmas, which was, gosh, only last Friday as I'm writing this:
- Listening to the Santa Land Diaries from David Sedaris twice as we were getting presents ready until two.
- Breakin’ out the granola (we’d been saving since mid-October) for breakfast.
- Watching the kids tear into the loot! (yeah, okay, this Christmas was a bit more toy-filled than most. Blame it on the low RMB if you must...)
- Carrot muffins with ginger and star anise.
- People coming over! We didn’t really leave the apartment for the whole day.
- A healthy two-hour nap with Ysa from 3 to 5 while the boys played without arguing (as far as we know).
- Hearing Jose Feciliano sing “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire” on the iPod and not wanting to gag. How did that happen?
- Delivering sugar cookies with homemade kiwi and pomegranate frosting to a few select neighbors from 8 till 9:30. Felt like trick or treating in reverse.
- Jane writing out a more detailed version of what we did so that I don't have to...
