Reminiscences of Christmas

Hello! Folks!! It is that time of year again when you smile without reason, when your heart is happy without cause, when Jesus is the Reason for the Season.When thoughts of chocolates and cookies and the aromas of chicken biriyanni, mutton stew, candies, wine and cakes make you go weak in the knees….cakes! Did I say cake...Plum and rum, fruit and nut, icing and chocolate. Mmmm!!!! Its Christmas, folks and we the Kerala Christian Association are back with a bang, bringing to you once again from our very own home kitchens – the delectable, irresistible, Christmas cake.Filled with rum-soaked raisins, cashews and dates, jostling for space with juicy black currants, candied peel and an extra dash of that secret Christmas spice, this cake is guaranteed to tingle and tease your taste buds and make you beg for –“One More Slice’Baked with Christmas love in the warmth of our hearts, this delightful treat from the KCA kitchens is sure to appeal to your sweet tooth and add that ‘zing’ to this Christmas Season…..ho! Ho! ho

The above is from an advert I wrote for the KCA cakes and suddenly I am thinking of Christmas. So I dedicate (most of) this month's posts to Christmas. Twinkling lights, tingling bells, Christmas trees, gifts, cakes,carol singing.. and above all the Christ child. That little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger, blissfully asleep as all babies are. Unaware of the huge responsibility that awaits Him to redeem the world...the greatest wonder of Christmas will always be the Christ Child
