Hai! Christmas bells started ringing. The festival mood is on. What is up?  

Have a great trip and enjoy well. Merry Christmas. I feel very happy to know that you are authors. Can I know what sort of writing do you take up? Do you write book, articles or any other type of writing? Once in a way going out to a new place with family is certainly a change and we get refreshed. This change will also help for your writing. Enjoy well.

Very true vathsala30, looking at Christmas tree, it's decoration, a lighting star is always an exciting thing for me too.

Hai Ikbooi, welcome back from your trip. Did you enjoy well? Where all did you go? Was the weather pleasant? Well thanks a lot for this Christmas gift. What other gift will be very precious than receiving an affectionate response from my friend? I missed you a lot and I am sure many would have missed you here. Very true. The neon lights in malls and streets, colourful crape paper decorations, Christmas songs all add to the festival atmosphere and take us to some other world. Commercial Street, which is the famous shopping street in Bangalore, is decorated with many types of lights and decorations and all the shops have special exhibits with Santa Clas, stars and many discounts are also given. It is nice to walk down this street. I am sending a lovely Red Rose as Christmas gift for you. Happy Christmas.

Yeah Buchi, I really enjoyed the trip. We were really fortunate that it started to snow on the way to a mountain resort in the afternoon, the third day in Hokkaido. For us, people from temperate country that never had chance to see the real snow falling were really keen to see the amazing snowfalls scene. We enjoyed watching the beautiful snowflakes falling outside the window of the bus

I believe everywhere is the same during Christmas season. We could see all kinds of Christmas decorations, etc, as well as the music had made the environment of Japan full of Christmas atmosphere as well. Due to the currency rate, we found everything were really expensive there So I just bought some key holders as souvenirs and some other worth to buy foods

I hope you could get some worth to purchase stuffs with very good discounts given. Thanks very much for sending me a fascinating rose as Christmas gift here. I love it.

Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!
