In case you’re looking for more Christmassy stuff to do this weekend, why not ask your kids to write their letter to Santa and head to China Word Summit to mail it? There’s a big red post box exclusively for letters to Santa so if you’re up for it and the weather is nice, go and have some fun with your kids. Also, the Christmas tree market is still in full swing in Shunyi so if you still haven’t gotten your tree, there’s still time. Whatever you decide to do, just remember to have fun.
