Have a kite made
I love kites and I live in China...

I have a tradition with my uncle that we fly kites on Christmas day. It’s utterly relaxing and a great bonding experience and I have the fondest memories of Christmas because of this tradition. So I love kites.
I am living in China for 1 year, probably not any longer than that. China is the birth place of kites and silk so it seems only natural that I would be able to see a lot of beautiful kites.
