I spend Christmas with Helen in China.  We met first in Hong Kong and then we celebrated Christmas in Shanghai, and after that we went to Nanjing to to visit Helen's parents.  Shanghai was pretty cold - I had to buy a new jacket, and Nanjing was also cold, but I was getting used to it.  We visited "Purple Mountain" and the parks there - they have an interesting tree that has flowers in the cold winter, and we went to see that.
