I do miss the holiday season back in NY, all the X'mas decorations in the street, X'mas songs in all the shops and real warm apt with heavy snow at outdoor. Shanghai doesn't really celebrate Christmas, plus we don't even get days off for Christmas. This year is my first X'mas in Shanghai, nothing fancy and special, just cooked a real normal X'mas eve dinner (steak,mashed potato,pasta,saute mushroom, cream corn,salad and bruschetta at home with some wine and fine cheese, pretty satisfying!
