Day 76 : Dun Che Lao Ren

I love the Chinese Santa Claus or Dun Che Lao Ren with his red silk robe, green parasol, Kite, and paper lanterns on the Christmas tree or "trees of light." Christmas in China is called Sheng Dan Jieh, which means the “Holy Birth Festival.”  The Chinese light their homes with beautiful paper lanterns and decorate Christmas trees with paper ornaments. Here is the picture of the day:
