Getting ready for Christmas

The Christmas spirit is already here. We are all very excited. Actually the house was very quiet for the past many days. Both our grand daughters were not at home.The elder one is in USA and the younger one was in the hostel. Our son was travelling most of the time and DIL very busy with her professional commitments. So two old souls, I and my husband, were at home the whole day. Suddenly the house is waking up after  slumber. The younger one's exams are done with, elder one is coming next week, son's touring activities are on hold for sometime, and the DIL comparitively free,  the house is brimming with hectic activity. Preparing for Christmas has started. Decoration of the Christmas tree is being planned. The photograph of last year's tree is shown below
                                           

                                 

 I am busy preparing cakes for the special occasion. Goodies are being planned for the party on Christmas eve. My grand daughter keeps singing carols. Gifts are being wrapped.The festive spirit has enthused everyone.
How are you planning for the big day?

      Thank you Pixie.Whether we go to a Church or to a Temple does not make any difference.It Is our own belief and faith. We must act according to our inner voice.
