Santa Claus is coming to town

It was my first Xmas and was throughly pampered.The day started early with a visit to the church at 7 A.M for the Xmas morning service to wish Jesus Christ a very happy B'day. We then got back and mamma immediately started work for the afternoons feast. While pappa entertained me with his antics mamma whipped up some mouth watering fish packets (something like fried spring rolls stuffed with fish). Ammichi (the cook par excellence) made some chicken biryani, raitha, delicious shepherd’s pie, Goan fish curry and pappad. We started the feast with some wine and ended it off with some finger licking Xmas pudding. We put up the Xmas star outside our home and decorated our home with some decorations, balloons and the ubiquitous Xmas tree. It was a nice way to end the year and hope the coming year is filled with many more surprises like this.
