Anna's Christmas - Sichuan Province, 1922:

Christmas Day. Yen Ching Kao. Woke at eight o'clock to find the same dull sky as in the three previous days. After an excellent breakfast of tangerines, oatmeal, scrambled eggs and bacon, pancakes with syrup and coffee, I finished making wreaths commenced yesterday. "Buckshot" made the frame-work for three out of split bamboo. The branches of an evergreen tree resembling a fine arbor-vitae made the body of the wreath. A thorny shrub furnished suitable scarlet berries for the same. A tall, plume-like grass, bound to some of the pillars, helped to give our open-air balcony a festive appearance. Jars of ferns and red berries completed the decorations. Our dinner was lacking in nothing for perfect satisfaction, the menu being as follows (Mrs. Darlington presented the plum pudding): Tomato Bisque Soup Creamed Salmon Mashed Potato file:///Macintosh%20HD/Desktop%20Folder/TGPP%20-%20up/TGPP-NEWSARCHIVES/Dec-97 (1 of 3) [4/20/2001 11:34:07 AM]
