Christmas in China

Dear Santa
Christmas in China is a breath of fresh air compared to the over commercialised western business. It goes off much more quietly, but not silently. They have all the usual Christams trees, lights and tinsel. However, where as in the west, these items start appearing in October, in China, it is constrained to just the week or two before the big day. The picture above shows how Chinese tradition has merged with western. Wooden wish tokens from traditional Chinese religions are used to decorate a western style Christmas tree.
