  Festivus? What is that, Latin? 'Madonna me patre, Santana, Tori Amos, filitus sante, cumon rock me Amadeus'. I know all that stuff.

  Actually the only Latin I know is 'carpe diem' which we all know is 'seize the day' as well as 'felicitus parvus canis calidus' which is slightly less well known and means 'Happiness is a warm puppy'. 

  Carpe canis calidus:)

wiki says its "a  holiday celebrated by those frustrated with the commercialism and pressure of the Christmas holiday season."

I wonder if there is anything like that for the Chinese New Year/Spring Festival.

Q: Can a Z visa holder do graduate studies in China while working?
A: Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside
A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
