                                "Christmas waves a magic wand over this world,and                                                               behold,everything is softer and beautiful"
                                       If you are talking about fun, enjoyment, togetherness, gifts, joy and anything beautiful, you are probably talking about Christmas – the most-anticipated religious and cultural festivity of the year!!
                    Christmas or X’Mas is celebrated every year to mark the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25. The day is the start of the Christian liturgical year and initiates the 12 days of Christmastide. The whole event ends after the twelfth night and is celebrated by both Christian and non-Christians with a lot of zeal and enthusiasm.
                   Christmas is also the time when people exchange gifts and greetings. The traditional messaging these days is replaced with WhatsApp messages which are an easy way to greet your loved ones. Messaging is an unique way of showing love and a great opportunity for everyone to let people know you care about them.
                      Right from the radiance of the twinkling Christmas tree to the thoughtful gifts beneath it; from the fun associated with Santa's stealthy way of making everyone happy, to the wonderful carols and songs people sing – there is something beautiful about this day.Festivals like Christmas is a perfect time and occasion to send warm wishes to our loved ones.
                    Whether it is a way to praise Christ, who was born on this day, or to rejoice the human emotions of solidarity and oneness the occasion entails; whether we talk about the white snow, jingle bells, or the shopping craze associate with the season - there is something overwhelmingly uplifting about this holiday.
                                   "The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.They must be felt with the heart.Wishing you happiness and wishing you MeRRy ChRistMas"

The Oyster


There was an oyster once
whose story I tell,
Who found some sand
Had gone into its shell
It was only a grain,
But  gave him a great pain.
For oysters have feelings
Although they are so plain.

Now , did he berate
Harsh workings of fate
That had brought him 
To such a deplorable state?
Did he curse the government
Cry for elections,
And claimed the sea should 
Have him protection?

No.........
He said to himself
As he lay on the shell
Since i can’t remove it,
I shall try to improve it
Now the years have rolled around,
And he came to his ultimate destiny

And the small grain of sand 
That had bothered him so
Was a beautiful pearl
With a richly glow
Now the tale has a moral
For isn't grand
What can  an oyster do
with a morsel  of sand

What couldn't we do
If we would only begin
with some of the things
That begin under our skin.......
