The name says it all, right?

It's been almost a month since my last post, and I'm not sure who i'm trying to explain things to, as it's not the busiest place around here, neways,,
Its almost Christmas, and the Magic is starting to make itself more clearly felt, Cliche? you ask? Trust me, it's not! I live in Haflong, and people who are familiar with the place will know, exactly how it gets around here, this time of the year, the mercury dips, and keeps on maintaining its downward trend, with an eerie regularity, shrouded in misty, nippy mornings and late, lazy sun-rises followed by, wind-blown, chilly days, where you are constantly on the look-out for a sunny spot, and bask, like a proverbial cat,, Yummmmmmm!!!!!!
There's another thing that's special to this place, and that is the ACUTE water shortage, we go through, the water supply people deciding to literally, fill our buckets, every TEN (!!!!!!!!) days,,
Today was 1 such day, and I was in a corner of my Father's garden,(pics of which shall b put up,in due course) when i heard the wind, rustling through the bamboo leaves overhead, and i was back in the Christmases of my childhood, in a flash!
There are countless other similar things that do this,,,
the smell of Pine, needles, cones and leaves, making a simply divine mix!
the Stars that people put up, on their roof-tops, and come dusk, they star to light up, like countless, multi-hued, Happy stars!!
the smell of fresh baking, wafting up, from every street-corner bakery!!
the colours of Christmas, EVERYWHERE you look, RED!! GREEN!!! in almost every place your eyes happen to fall, as if nature is on a new Theme-Trip!!
POINSETTIAS, glowing, red!!!
Cards, Shoppers, bundled up,
children,, in new Seasonal woolens!!
There are so many other, different, equally significant, though seemingly silly associations one hs with this tme of the year, and almost all the memories I have, are happy ones,
God, I hope i never forget even a single one of them!!
Happy Holidays, guys!
Merry Christmas!!!
