Apart from the Christmas tree, drawing and colouring which would be our assignment every year in art class before the little Christmas break; and the skit on sports day, generally on 23rd or 24th December, in which i used to dress in my frilliest white frock and have a halo, i.e. be an angel for a few minutes, Christmas holidays meant chilly nights, someone dressed as santa and distributing toffees on Christmas, and hard core preparation for the exams that followed the holidays!
So Christmas was no Diwali for us.
However, when my English prof told me and my friend Raadhika that we had to set up a carols group about 2 weeks ago, Christmas took a whole new meaning....
The trees in the woods were all decorated with tinsel and bells; the air had a chill to it, my thickest blanket became my best friend, the secret santa chits were all drawn, lectures were bunked incessantly because we so wanted to win the carol singing competition, Meryl's mom had sent us a freshly baked batch of spongy and sinful walnut and date cake, and Michelle, Sanjana, me n Maddie had started planning the Christmas sleepover, with the Midnight Mass, and then a little fire on the terrace, milk and cookies, plum cakes, pizzas, marshmallows, and ghost stories and gossip... and even the VLC media player icon donned a Christmas hat (which my brother suspects is spam)...
Christmas was freakin' here!!!!!
But, then, along with that, the last day of SYJC drew near, people started posting senti statuses on Facebook and were hugging and kissing all over the college, and then, prelims.... But what the hell, its Christmas!!!!
So now the next two days i'm going to be singing jingle bell rock all day:p
Merry Christmas yeverybuddy!!!!!!!
