i will probably be just in my room, cook, eat and drink till i forget that im all alone :(

It will be my first time to spend xmas alone. 

honesty is good (Tako) ......  where are you...........  I think somebody on here will share some baijui with you............  maybe even a xmas pigeon.

I spent my first xmas here last year and overdid it with my extended chinese family.... turned them all into xmas celebrators......then it carried past xmas through January and February....... 3 months of celebrations.............. so I am discontinuing xmas celebrations in China and just going to celebrate Chinese New Year in February with them........ but then I used to do this at home too, say I am not doing the xmas shopping any more because of the commercialization of it............. then on Dec.23-24, I'd go spend a fortune on crap that nobody needs.. we'll see.

a short trip to Taipei.  The flights are so cheap from Beijing that it is cheaper to go than to stay home for the four days that I will have off.  RMB 1,200 return.

Christmas Day for me is a regular working day here, so I will teach my class as usual. I will try to go to midnight mass on Christmas Eve, though seeing how crowded the Church was, I now know I have to get there really early! Last year, I was not able to attend.

Since there is no holiday on the occasion of Christmas in my company..so No Holiday and No Plan

To deck the halls with boughs of holly.

Dear Owenren, the company in which i am working is in Jinan, if you know some company which offers holiday on the occasion of Christmas..then let me know..I will send my C.V to them..i really want to be a human being rather than a machine..

I will roast a turkey with all of the side dishes and invite several people to my home for a Christmas dinner. I have spent the last few weeks gathering the ingredients and I have everything I need to do a traditional American Christmas dinner.
