Well, the decorations are up, the music is playing, and the spirit is here, but the weather doesn't feel like Christmas just yet. The leaves are changing color and the beauty of fall is colliding with our typically snowy season. Nonetheless, we are having a great time exploring new Christmas events and taking in all the festivities. From German Chriskindlmarkts to a giant snow globe, we've found no shortage of Christmas spirit here. The girls are even thrilled to have their elf, Marwin, finally find his way to our new apartment. They have been busy with some Christmas performances and events at school and it was fun to see Nina as a (literal) star in her show.

We've had some bad pollution days as of late and had to find inside activities. We were excited to try the movie theater a block away and got to see Coco. We really enjoyed the show and have been listening to the music whenever we stray from Christmas tunes. We caught a Shanghai Sharks basketball game with some friends and Ben still doesn't like watching Jimmer Fredette. We were happy to get a beautiful day to take in Xujiahui park on Saturday.
