It's the most wonderful time of the year! It's holly, jolly and filled with so much cheer! Christmas in China is so different than the USA, but we don't let that stop us from celebrating this special time of year. Earlier this month, the kids gathered all donned in red, with christmasy hats and headbands galore to celebrate our Savior's birth! And what a day it was! I know I say this a lot, but our Christmas party with the kids has to be one of my most favorite days each year! The excitement, joy and wonder in their eyes and hearts is tangible. Every year, Santa makes his first stop of the season at SFCV and gives each child a special Christmas present. Their smiles say it all. Of course, there are some that are not so fond of "old saint Nick" but most of the kiddos LOVE seeing Santa and are so eager to see what he has brought. It's a jolly filled day with dancing, games, presents and cake. Unlike years past, I won't be traveling back to the USA
