Memoirs of Christ Nagar XLVI

Hi everybody,

Nice to contact all of you once again. Contact me on 94465 78791 in Trivandrum. Continuing with the memoirs sessions, today we shall remember the X'mas Fete.

Every year, the day the school closes for Christmas vacation, we used to have this festival, another unique entity of our school. We had the same on all years except of course, the 5th Std (1987). Remember how we waited to receive a bag of eatables, usually with cake, orange, ladoo, banana and others before the occasion (once that day's exam is over). There used to be Christmas carols & other songs. Ballades and skits are usual attractions. A Christmas MESSAGE used to be given by a renowned person, usually a bishop (once Rev Susai Packiam, once Rev.Samuel Amritham) or a film actor or a minister. The most wanted attraction is the 'CHRIST NAGAR BEAUTY CONTEST'in which one from each batch dress like a girl, and come on stage. One of them used to be awarded prize. Another attraction is the LUCKY DIP in which each of us vie with each other to get a Christmas cake. Remember how we used to blow up the coupons after tearing them to pieces, once we come to know that we are among the unlucky ones. Another attraction was the arrival of the SANTA CLAUS from nowhere, and distribution of sweets associated. Usually, this is preceded by crackers, and other lightworks.

Missing your school, right? Want to study there again? Bu..t, no, you can't. At least send your children. ha ha ha..

To continue with other events in the coming sessions,

Yours sincerely,
Sundar Singh
