The Most Wonderful Time of the Year [Lily]

As today is December 1st, I would like to take this time to tell you our plans for Christmas. Most decorations won’t be out for a week or two, as we’ll be in Bhubaneswar and Puri on vacation till December 20th. But our Christmas music, which is downloaded onto my mother’s I-Pod, is already on and filling our living room with Christmas joy. Later today, we’ll be putting up our advent calendar.
The main decorating will be very fun. We’ll have home-made paper snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, and on our tiny Christmas tree (probably about two feet tall) there will be bows and strings of pop-corn. There is a store here that sells Christmas merchandise year-round, so we’ll probably be checking that out for decorations.
On Christmas morning, we’ll have plum pudding and other festive breakfast foods from a bakery. I’m really hoping we’ll also have dosas and idilis, too, because this year Christmas is on a Monday, and the Dosa Man (as I like to call him) comes Monday mornings.
