What a merry Christmas indeed. There’s nothing like spending the Christmas Day with your loved ones and having someone at your disposal to buy you all the gifts you could possibly want. I cried later on that day because Amir Khan directed Tare Zameen Par so well and I felt bitterly for the poor dyslexic kid. I disliked only one scene where a very much copied Spaceman Spiff - like character zooms off in the solar system as soon as the kid starts day dreaming whats 3 X 9. The rest of the movie was very touching. As in I had to touch my eyes several times to wipe off the tears before people sitting next to me noticed.

When I went to buy a christmas cake, a Santa in the cafe gave me sweets from his red bag which I accepted a little too eagerly. Only when I looked around did I realize that I was the only adult amidst all the children accepting sweets. I didnt really care as the sweets were delicious. And I liked cutting two christmas cakes in one day. If you cant eat cake on Christmas, I cant imagine any other perfectly appropriate time. (At my age, I hardly get to cut a birthday cake not to mention the agony of adding yet another year)

Being at work around this time of the year’s hardly my idea of a perfect ending to a good year. And I can safely say that I am most looking forward to the New Year bash in five days time. Since I’m planning to be reformed next year and stay away from all things addictive (read: intoxicating) I might as well get inebriated for the last one time. So, I ask again: Who’s with me?
