During a busy weekend visit to Beijing, we were racing to get to the Temple of Heaven before it closed for the day. While making our way down a lengthy pavilion where locals had gathered to play cards, a man with an accordion started playing the song Jingle Bells. This was in mid-June, mind you. Suddenly, a lady jumped up and started dancing gleefully, like Jingle Bells was her favorite song in the world! Despite our rush, we stopped to enjoy every strange and charming second! It’s one of my favorite memories from that entire weekend!
