Christmas 2008

Christmas season has begun here - with a grand start at Ashwin and Priya's school. No politically correct celebrations in India.  One can expect exuberant celebrations from all religions during their respective festivals.  On December 3, there was a Christmas Pageant at school.   Priya was in a  100 student strong choir which included all the students of nursery and kindergarten classes. And they sang there hearts out. Ashwin was in the school play, "Follow the Star" and was the youngest member of the group. His selection may have been partly due to the fact that some of his teachers had seen him on TV when he was interviewed on the day of the US election. 
Last night Ashwin went carolling with his Sunday school group and returned home at 2 AM, with his pockets stuffed with candy.   Next week, there will be a Choir Concert by our church Christmas choir, which Leann is a part of. Then she will we going on carolling rounds a couple of nights as well.  (I don't know if she can stay awake)
