LumDimFamily Christmas Table
Nothing quite compares to a proper holiday meal. It is the meal we look forward to all year long. Of course it's always an added benefit to be surrounded by family and loved ones, but even just the food alone is something worth noting.
Lucky for you, Beijing is full of both impressive and affordable options for you and your loved ones to choose from.
Take advantage as this is the one time of year when you're obliged to feast to your heart's content, eating your way through full turkeys, hunky slices of honey-glazed ham, and as much Christmas pudding, boxes of chocolate and Santa's cookies as you can stomach. And the best part is that you don't have to worry about packing on a couple extra pounds because it will be hidden under all those additional layers of clothing!
With the apocalypse scare behind us, we can fully enjoy the days of 2012 with special holiday meals filled with festive cheer! The time is ticking fast in Beijing as Christmas is right around the corner!
Here are LDS' Top 12 Picks for Christmas Meals that will optimize your Christmas Cheer.
