Santa Claus is coming to China?

It is about time to start thinking of Christmas! I am bummed to not be home and going shopping on the weekends with everyone else and their dog! I love C

hristmas shopping, tree shopping, decorating the tree, wrapping gifts, etc…

I have had a few people ask about Christmas gifts, so I put together a list that I will post here on my

blog. I know Mom and Dad have already sent a package this way, but hopefully this will supply some ideas if anyone else is thinking of sending something.

*Shoes- size 9 from Payless usually fits well (something kinda’ sporty that I could wear with jeans or slacks)

*Jeans- size 8L from New York and Co. (I like the darker colored jeans best—they are kind of expensive regular price, but go on sale for pretty cheap on a regular basis)

*Capris- size 8 from NY&Co. These may not even be in season right now…anything except jean material would be great.

*Sweater/Cardigan- Medium

*Shirts that can be worn to class and on the weekends...I need things that are multi-functional!! Usually a medium is best.

*Tank tops (the kind with the thick straps at the top that I can wear under stuff…longer ones that can tuck in…)

*Earrings…some small studs that I can use to replace the ones I’ve had in since I left the States

*Good smelling lotion/body spray

*The normal goodies—Poptarts, cereal, hot chocolate mix, candy canes, etc…

In America, I teach 8th grade English and reading and really enjoy spending time with middle school students. Some people think I am crazy for it, but Marsing has a great group of kids and I love being a part of their lives as they grow up! Right now I live in China and teach English and teaching methods to students who want to be teachers. I am here through Peace Corps, which I think is a fabulous experience and something that more people should look into doing! The application process can be a bit of a pain, but it is well worth the time and effort. Check out Peace Corps and give something back to the world that has given you so much!! Teaching runs in the family, as just about everyone is involved in education in one way or another. My dad is retired, but he was a teacher, counselor and principal for 30+ years, my mom is an elementary counselor, my sister and husband are both teachers and my brother will finish his teaching degree this next spring! "Those who can, do; those who can do magic, teach!"
