Jingle Bells!

Dashing through the snow... In a one horse open-sleigh... Over the fields we go laughing all the way...Jingle bells... Jingle bells... Jingle all the way... Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open-sleigh....!!!!

Yess... This carol is enough to understand that it's Christmas time. Back in school days... As mine was a catholic school, Christmas holidays were declared 10 days earlier. December 22 evening after returning home... All I used to see was cleaning of houses and keeping everything clean. 3 continuous days from there on were night overs... Sitting with parents and doing Christmas snacks!! Lol!!!!

Though I knew that the Christmas socks idea wouldn't work... Every 24th December I used to write down my Christmas wishes in a sock and hang it over the window mesh. Christmas eve evening 8 o'clock to early morning 2 o'clock the service would go by... Wishing my mom first on Christmas is my favorite....

Christmas is all about love. An empathy and a nostalgia of contentment, pleasure and giving. Just as Santa and his story of fulfilling the requirements of the needy, just as the story of the birth of Jesus Christ which speaks about the three great kings who were well determined to reach the baby Jesus and achieved it with the help of the Star... Just as all those people who were anxious to look at the Lord's face... All this speaks of pure love...right from childhood to present day... I keep waiting for that one week during Christmas just as a little girl waits for a beautiful barbie toy or just like an adult girl waits for her fairytale to come true....
