December Debuts…

December comes and so does new beginnings, another debut with my blog… an effort to revive it.

December Jottings:
A most welcome month. Christmas season, the joy and excitement it brings along within everyone is wordless. In school, we would get the air of Christmas right from the 3rd week of November.

Being in the school choir, everyday we were bound to cut 2 classes. It really used to be cool. They would call the choir students over the common announcement speaker anytime our master was free. And sometimes it would come as a relief while attending periods where teachers ask Questions, especially when you are totally unprepared and wondering when your turn to answer would come. Can never forget the anxiousness in the Chemistry classes.

Then, we would go to a huge serene auditorium with a most striking picture of Christ in the middle of the stage and start singing and practicing…. Oh what a holy mood we would be immersed in! 

In this context, I would definitely have to mention the most friendly, encouraging and committed sir ever, to guide us. He was our music master, Mr.Solomen Nesakumar.

Not only the choir, we would have all kinds of activities for the season… competitions, celebrations, Christmas decorations and wishes between classes and also the Chris mom, Chris child gifts. One December, when I was in 9th class I guess, I got 4 shades of nail polishes from my Chris dad!!!

Then, there would be a hustle and bustle in choosing our Christmas costume. At last we would end up wearing the brightest, colourful, funky frock or skirt that could ever exist for the season!!!

Christmas
A time for giving and forgiving!!!
A time for peace and joy!!!
And for new beginnings!!!
