			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is Midwinter's Day, also known as Winter Solstice, the shortest day and the longest night of the year. After this day, the frost winter(entering nines) begins and the coldest temperature comes to everywhere. I'm sure most people in China have now experienced the significant drop in temperature. Two days ago I was wearing short skirts and thin coats; now I doubled my clothes and put on a down jacket and still feel the cold when I'm writing this blog.</p>
<p>    In northern China, many cities ushered in the first snowfall this winter. When will snow come to Wuhan? I really miss the picture when the whole city turned white.<br />
   <br />
    Back in my hometown, we eat dumplings to celebrate this traditional festival. It is said that if you don't eat dumplings at Midwinter's Day, you'll get cold ears in the coming frozen winter. I just got back from the dumpling restaurant. There is no doubt that the business will be very good tonight 'cause dozens of people are waiting in line.</p>
<p>    Have you eaten dumpling today? Hurry up, or you'll got cold ears: )</p>
