During my 10 months in China I never saw the Chinese dress in “costume” for their holidays, I think it might be an American thing or maybe a teacher thing but we definitely like our costumes. When I retired I also retired all my Halloween and Christmas t-shirts, vests and sweaters. Now that I am teaching youngsters again, I had to buy a new batch of holiday costumes. I did so that last night I was appropriately dressed for the Frederica Academy’s tree lighting ceremony with my new Wal-Mart Christmas vest (which was Made in China).
Oh and as you can see, my Christmas lights are up. I know it is early – but I am one of those people that like to put them up right after Thanksgiving and take them down a couple of days after Christmas. Yep my house is also in costume and probably all the decorations were made in China too….. I am almost all ready for my favorite holiday of the year, just a lot of cooking and a little more online shopping to do.
