    Oh yeah, everyone is gearing up for the celebration. Nice to see the brightly decked up shops and displays.

    When I was in South India at this time of year I noticed there is more pre-Christmas activity in the South than in the north. Here we are having lots of church related activities.


    The star looks lovely

    Gorgeous photos of Christmas celebrations. I always love the decorations with cribs and other dolls signifying the Christmas theme, just like our South Indian Golus during Navarathri.
    Merry Christmas to you and your family!

    Very colourful photos from Kochi! I remember when I was young in India I used to help my dad decorate the Christmas crib. I would collect fresh green moss from the garden to put inside the crib. Those were fun days. I haven't celebrated Christmas in India now for a long time, but hope to do so some time in the future. We worry about leaving our houses here in the winter and getting broken pipes.

    Despite the commercialism surrounding Christmas these days, I still cherish the religious significance of the occasion.

    Have a great Christmas Mr Joseph.

    Nice photographs. I was also busy photographing people who bring the joy to homes weaving cradles etc out of bamboo. Will post them when I return to Bhopal. In the meantime greetings in advance.
