Christmas is here, just round the corner and there are reminders of arrival of the festival everywhere. It is good news for retailers, there will be sales, it is precious time that retailers look forward to. Sometimes the sales are so good that yearly back payments can be cleared during this season.
People are in festive moods and everyone is seen with a shopping bag, shopping for Christmas and New Year, buy gifts and chocolates and clothes, shoes and bags….the list is endless….
But what is really exciting is to visit the malls and see the decorations. In one mall the stage is set up for Santa with lights and balloon and a pretty iron seat….
While others have stuffed Santa beneath the large Christmas trees that amuse the kids…..
There are large Christmas trees in almost every mall with a big box in one corner where you drop your demand for a gift.
Parents and children do the Christmas shopping and deposit the gift with Santa to surprise the kids….
When I was little, I would wish Santa was Hindu and brought some gifts for me too……..
