Sharing seasonal goodwill

The Ritz-Carlton in Shenzhen is ablaze with Christmas cheer, from the gigantic Christmas tree in the lobby to the enticing aroma that wafts from the gingerbread houses throughout the hotel. But in the midst of all the nativity music and feasting options, the hotel is also providing a "Take Away" with a difference.

Ritz-Carlton continues their five-year partnership with the Shenzhen Min Ai Disabled Children's Welfare Center in a charity program that will make a child's wish come true.

Guests can buy a Christmas ornament for 128 yuan ($21) on the two-story tree and put their names on cards which the hotel staff will hang on the tree.
