Christmas Time...

Its Christmas time ... the end of a whole round of an year paving way to another 365 days of life and living!!

This year, this time, has been completely different from all those days of this season that I have had before. We went up to my friend's place to decorate the Christmas Tree and what more..? there were gifts for all of us from the Santa Claus (though it was our sweet, gr8 Menna ... the Santa, who put it all there to surprise us)

tat's all of us :-)

It was beautiful to see her doing it all with so much of enthusiasm and fun. Gifts for all her friends and family, sending out those Christmas cards to all her dear ones (as of now, living in different parts of the world!!!) She even baked 14 cakes so that she can send them to all her friends out there who loves her delicacies.

And while am writing this blog, I happened to get this forward mail where it tells about
"People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.
Then people come into your life for a SEASON. Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! "

And I guess, this friend of ours is gonna last for a Season, to teach us to connect back to all those values and traditions of Celebrations and Festivals, in life. Looking at her we are learning once again to celebrate those small things in life, in a big way adding up to the memories of a lifetime.

(And that's her.. forever.. lovingly ours... Menna)
