Today my friend Shepherd and I strolled through Beijing’s Russian quarter, to document all signs of Christmas. We found so many tacky decorations and fabulous furs, and I thought you’d like these pictures:
Santa Claus, at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic across the street from my apartment. I often visit this place for acupuncture, and it makes me smile to see their Christmas spirit!
This mall has an amazing selection of Russian wholesale fashions: furs of every color, mannequins with every hairstyle...
Inside, Shepherd and I posed with this model by this Christmas tree.
I think every day is Christmas inside this mall!
Shepherd is quite the photographer! He took all of these photos 
Our photo tour of Christmas with Chinese characteristics ended with something more familiar. Christmas carols and warm mochas!
Merry Christmas! I hope you have a lovely holiday, full of joy and good food and happiness!
love,
leslie
