Christmas is, hands down, my absolute favorite holiday. I truly love this time of the year when it’s appropriate to listen to Christmas music (although who can resist listening to Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ all year long), twinkle lights are put on display and Christmas trees are everywhere you turn.
With that said, sometimes being in China can put a bit of a damper on the holiday spirit – let’s be honest. So whether you’ll be staying in Shanghai for the holidays or going home to celebrate with your family, it can always help to have a bit of holiday cheer in your own home at the least. That’s why we’ve provided you with a guide to the best Christmas tree and decoration shopping spots in the city (pg14), as well as some cute holiday outfits for the little ones (pg 12).
Food & Fun (starting on page 34) is also filled with holiday delights that will have you craving for your Christmas ham or turkey early. Here you’ll also find a list of some of the best places to dine on Christmas if you are sticking around town.
Our cover story (pg16) switches gears to talk about a popular trend in Shanghai—the momtrepreneur. While this type of mom is obviously not new, more and more are following the lead and creating businesses that suit their lifestyle, talent and passion. Here we feature seven moms who are doing just that and using WeChat as the tool to run their businesses.
We also feature some pretty fantastic young artists, putting their favorite pieces on display on page 26.
And a special thanks to Barefoot Portraits for hosting and taking our lovely cover shoot.
Happy holidays!

个人而言，圣诞节绝对是我最喜欢的节日。每年这个时候，都可以正大光明的播着圣诞歌曲（当然，像Mariah Carey的《All I Want For Christmas Is You》是任何时候都百听不厌的），还有把圣诞树装扮的闪闪发光的乐趣。
话虽这么说，但是有时候国内的氛围和气候并不是非常给力。所以，无论你是不是留在上海过圣诞节，给家里增添一些节日氛围总是没错的。为此，《城市家》这期就为读者整理了沪上圣诞树和圣诞装饰品购买指南（第14页），还有去哪儿购买孩子们的节日装扮（第12页）。
在本期第34页开始的Food & Fun中，同样是和节日气氛相关的美食盘点，包括圣诞火腿或火鸡。从这些上海最受欢迎的餐厅中，或许你可以找到去哪里吃圣诞大餐的灵感。
这期的封面故事（第16页） 将讨论时下上海正流行的现象：精英妈妈。虽然事业及家庭都经营得当的女性并不是新闻，但是越来越多的妈妈们加入这个行业，并凭借自己的热情和才华找到了适合自己的创业方向。本期我们采访了7位这样的经营妈妈，她们目前都凭借着WeChat这个平台经营着自己的生意。
除此之外，这期中还将介绍到几位才华横溢的小艺术家。他们的故事在第26页有详细介绍。
再次感谢Barefoot Portraits为本期封面提供摄影帮助。
各位，节日快乐！
