This Christmas time...

The holiday season is here! The season of goodwill and joy and lots and lots of holidays! The weather is absolutely perfect too, as you will already know if you live in Chennai. Yes, life is worth living again.

Christmas is only a few weeks away and they're already singing carols in church, Sunday school kids are putting up Christmas plays and the Christmas tree is out. Of course, the sermons haven't changed.
'Don't concentrate on the shopping! Make Christ the center of this Christmas!'
A good sentiment. It's not about the shopping, people. It's about giving. Love, affection, time, effort, money...whatever it is, give and you will get it back one way or another. Besides, it's more fun than you realise.

Yeah, I wanted to tell you guys about the Christmas play. No matter how amateurish it is, it never fails to warm your heart when you see little kids dressed up as angels with wings, tiara et al. Probably the only time of the year when they seem angelic. Okay, okay! I'm kidding. I'm sure they have their moments.



The best part of 'The Fourth Wise Man' was the manger scene. I couldn't help stifling a laugh when the baby Jesus was peremptorily passed on to the little kid dressed up as Mary and the subsequent abandonment of the doll in the pulpit after its role was over.



It was cute. It was adorable. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Happy holidays everyone!

P.S: I know the pics are bad, so don't mind that. It was pretty dark in there and I had to mess around with it in picassa.
