Our Christmas this year was unique. Besides being in China, we were both sick for the holidays. We went to a couple of children’s Christmas parties and I think that’s when all the trouble began. Sure there was a cold snap too but we’ll blame it on the kiddies. The germs that they carried were strong. I made it to my department’s Christmas party and then spent the next two days in bed. Don fared better than I did. He had a cold but wasn’t as knocked out by it as I was. He made chicken soup for our Christmas dinner. It was delicious and healthy! We also got to Skype with Karen, Jamie and Bethany (Don’s sister and her kids) on Christmas Day. It was nice to be able to chat with family for free! Rob celebrated his birthday on Boxing Day. He and Don were taken out to a famous Bejing duck restaurant by the school for lunch. I was still to sick to enjoy it that day but have since gone there for lunch. Yum! I did make it to his birthday dinner that evening and had my first meal in days. We went to a favourite restaurant of ours that features food from Chairman Mao’s hometown in Hunan province.
