24th BLOG POST -->>
Finally its the last week of this year and decade. A
wonderful year of 2012 is coming to an end which showed us so many things
(latest being Sachin Tendulkar's bye ;-) ). The last week of every year has one charismatic
festival which I don't think you would have found difficult in figuring out.
Merry Christmas to all of you. Christmas is a beautiful festival celebrated by
Christians and all the followers of Jesus Christ. Christmas signifies the birth
of Jesus Christ. Now a days Christmas is not only confined to Christians but by
other religious and pious people too. I'm a Hindu and I am as enthusiastic as
Christians for this festival. Jesus Christ is not only associated with
Christians as the English Calendar which is followed globally is based on his
birth. The Hindu Calendar and Islamic Calendar are followed by their followers
itself but the Christian Calendar is followed by each and everyone so the
importance of Jesus Christ and Christmas is very close to each and everyone in
the world.

Christmas greetings to all … peace and happiness for this festival of prayer and well being, for goodness and friendship to prevail, and for the greater good of humanity to find a warm home in each one of us …It’s been a roller coaster of a year but at last Christmas is here and a New Year is in sight.
I would like to wish my family and friends a very Merry Christmas and extend a big thank you to everyone for their continued support and help during 2012
May the Stars and Sunshine of Christmas bring peace and love in your life. The happiness and sacredness that the Lord Jesus wanted everyone to possess should be a matter of fact and not fiction/myth. Let the question of God existing or not remain aside but on the mark of Year's last festival, trust in the God and the plans that he makes for us. Every Christmas, we pray God to send Santa Claus to our homes with the gift that we are waiting/dying for. As a child, all of us demanded something from our parents continuously. But they never used to give us in closet as they didn't want us to become adamant and someone not valuing things. Finally, before the arrival of Christmas, they used to ask us to write what we wanted on a chit of paper so that they can give it to Santa Claus. We used to write it. On the night of 24th, when we used to get ready for sleep, parents used to ask us to pray God and sleep so that, by the morning, when we would be waking up, we'll find gifts under our pillow. Many of us after praying never used to sleep for next 2-3 hours in an expectation of seeing how Santa Claus comes in the dress and places the gift. But we failed because of the amount of slumber we loved then. :-) Now, we prefer Facebook/Twitter over slumber.
Finally, in the morning, when we used to wake up, we used to find the toy that we asked for either under our pillow or on our bedside with few chocolates. Then, our parents used to make us bathe and pray God to thank him for sending Santa Claus with the gift. They never told us that they themselves are Santa for us who purchase the gift and never tell us that they are doing this favour ove us and not Santa. :-) And, after that we visit our Christian friends to meet them on the occasion and used to discuss as to what they wrote on their piece of paper/message/sms etc for thwir friends and how they got their favorite toy. Some of us even carried our new toy to showcase it in front of our friends and boast about it. :-).But I become so sad now in college our friends not celebrating this festival much more. They wish to each other not enjouying much...:( :( This is how I remember Christmas every year. And with the amount of love I have for this festival, I don't think that I will ever stop celebrating or prioritizing it. I love this festival to the core. Actually, I, since my childhood, have not been into celebration of festivals but I always respected every festival that came in my way. And I never knew what religion and caste were until my 10th std. This helped me a lot in developing up as a human I am.
