The memories of Christmas that was
Christmas and simple joys are vanishing old and traditional pleasures that served as binding force for the communities Ready made stars of wide variety flood the scene The old bamboo and metal stars have disappeared. Whatsapp have sounded a death knell to Christmas greeting cards All traditional sweets are marketed in beautiful presentation boxes .The cakes too Local self help groups are relieving house wife's of labour of love of traditional sweets and thus have become commercialised. The laborious cribs in villages are things of the past.The joys of all creative activities etc have given place to New. The Chinese decorations are everywhere.innovative cheap and attractive. The parties at Village level after midnight mass are gone .The star competions at Church square has remained and prizes of encouragement for all participants have made it attractive. Carol singing at door steps on foot have become motorists.Christmas father is in stores. Future Christmas activities will be found in archives Merry Christmas Nelson Lopes Chinchinim https://lopesnelsonnat.wordpress.com
