I always loved December... I dunno for what specific reasons, it would be real funny for somebody abroad or may be even somebody from Bangalore if I say "Its cold in here in Chennai" For them it is never cold in Chennai.
I love it simple because it’s comparatively better weather and it’s such a nice feeling to ignore your alarm clock and keep sleeping in the morning. One other reason is its Christmas time… I love the feeling, the carols, the star, the crib, the late night mass everything… Most important – the new clothes!!!
I love the Christmas Eve than the Christmas day itself for some reason!!! (?)
I would love to spend at least one December abroad, may be in France, I always wanted to spend Christmas like the way they show in movies…as a whole community!!! Like Diwali here.
My Bro is lucky this time around, he would be in Bethlehem this Christmas! (Envy!) Man! That’s some place to be in for Christmas…
T. S Elliot again…
The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways.Six o'clock.
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scrapsOf withered leaves about your feet
And newspapers from vacant lots;
The showers beat
On broken blinds and chimney-pots,
And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.
And then the lighting of the lamps.
How I wish I was in school, to enjoy my half yearly vacations and have fun at home!
How I wish I was still an Altar boy at church, preparing for Christmas!
How I wish I was in my choir rehearsaling carols!
How I wish I was out the whole night going homes to sing carols!
On top of that list currently stands….
How I wish, I ignore my 0530 alarm and sleep cuddling my pillow (59 days more for a better alternative…)!
This December is more special, coz I’m dreaming of the White Christmas, 18 days away plus my wedding 59 days away!
Again, wish me luck!

Yeah, white Christmases are nice...unless it has been snowing since October and then you have to wake up even earlier every day to clear the snow off your car and fight the icy roads to get to work on time... :) Aaah...I love being in India!
