These photos are from the Christmas Day celebration at my school. The commercial aspects of Christmas are widely celebrated all across China. Religious zealots in the US might be envious of this apparent lack of division between church and state, though the celebration of Christmas here has absolutely no religious significance (much like in the US). The kids dressed up in Santa hats and sung Christmas carols, all just because it seemed like fun. Teachers dressed in full Santa gear went around throwing candy at the kids. Only four children were injured in the ensuing riots.
