Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Dear Mrs. Wendy and all celebrators of Christmas, Wish You and your family a Merry Christmas and New Year ahead. I remember my school days. I was in a Roman Catholic school (Don Bosco High School) with headquarters in italy and had almost all Fathers and Brothers imported(sorry) from there in our school. Christmas was a occasion to look for. I remember a small contribution made by all of us to the class teacher a month before Christmas, and then awaiting returns for the contribution given a day before Christmas. In the evening we had a assembly in the quadrangle of the school , all of us were given smll packets which contained among others a Lollipop. a Santa Money box for saving money, and the best part a piece of Plum cake, which I used to look forward every year. Most of the good (Do not ask me the definition of good from the eyes of a school boy) teachers with whom I had fallen in love, would be dressed well for the occasion, they had a small dance, and then suddenly Santa used to come from nowhere (actually from a distant terrace among the school buildings) and with the back ground music and choir of the songs "Dashing through the snow" and "Jingle bells" he used to start throwing sweets on all of us students and I being a weak boy in body at that point of time, used to wait for one to fall near me. With his white hair, white beard ,stout body and a big bag on his shoulders and very impressively dressed clothes the Red and white traditional one, he used to make a good entry or a VIP one. I remember those old days. and wish to go back . Those memories also bring in others, my mother coming to school, caring for me, cajoling me, the small pocket monet received every week, the carefree strolls on the school grounds and corridors, the one minute visits to the Church within the school, the friends and enemies of school life, the smell of green grass, the visions of innumerable lunch boxes opening at lunch-time, hurriedly eating and running to play, etc.etc. This mail may become long and boring, so will stop here. Butr Christmas is always looked forward to, and brings in good memories. regards, Bhaskar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
