Riddle: What do Ex-Pats bring to a Christmas Pot-Luck in Shanghai?

Anything they can get their hands on..................
My digital camera was not cooperating, so I will post pics from Vicky's email.
We were eight in total- M. Jean was in such good spirits, that he donned his Santa Claus outfit. He got my name in the Secret Santa and guess what, he's French, right?
A 2006 Bordeaux from the very region where he lives. Very, very, nice!
A Christmas Card from Home!!!!!!!!!! Guards gave it to me on my exit yesterday from School! Thanks Carol Anne- so cute- so Canadian!!!!!!
The leftovers from our feast

we enjoyed Pasta Salad ( moi- and it was not bad!), three different kinds of sushi, a mushroom dish from Sunshine that disappeared immediately ( Mmmmmm), caviar - yes- caviar on toasts, fish cakes, ham, sausage, cheese, spiced peanuts and a cheesecake. A feast!
Bianca, ( German teacher)Adelia ( married to Murray - English teacher), Santa Clause ( M Jean- French Teacher)) Sunshine ( my Translator and English teacher), Laura ( English teacher - with the Latino accent!) and me!
M.  Jean handed out the secret santa gifts
He got a kiss from all - except me with the nasty cold………..
It looks like the cheesecake went down well……………..
