*.* Let It Snow! Merry Christmas *.*

"The savior came down to settle all accounts of sin so that we would be forgiven. The season of Christmas starts from Advent Sunday till the day of Christmas, almost covering 30 days."

Christmas cards are illustrated, messages of greetings are exchanged between friends and family members during the weeks preceding Christmas Day. Now, the custom of sending cards has become popular worldwide. Exchange of gifts is one of the core aspects of the modern day Christmas Celebrations.

Different countries have different traditions and different Christmas meals. For example, Sicily has a special meal on Christmas Eve where 12 kinds of fishes are served. In the United Kingdom, a standard Christmas meal includes a turkey, a goose, or other large birds. Cake is a big part of the modern Christmas celebration. A particular favourite is the traditional Scottish Christmas cake, the Whiskey Dundee. As the name implies, the cake originated in Dundee and is made with Scotch Whiskey.

Children wait for me and my gifts. Parents tell stories to their children about me, my home, my workshop, Rudolph and the elves. Children write letters to me for gifts. All year, they do good things to be in my good list and try their best not to do bad things so as to avoid being on my bad list.

"He knows if you've been bad or good, So be good for goodness' sake!"

Hoo! Wait, where did I come from? My weakness has an unforgettable place in history and my nose, it's not that r e d , is it? I was made fun of for my little nose and my friends did not take me when they played, but Santa was kind. He saw me and asked me to accompany him for the ride. Then, you know *flicks hair* I became quite famous, haa!

The Magi are the three wise men who brought gifts for baby Jesus. They started the practice of giving and sharing on Christmas. Following that practice, people share gifts among themselves during Christmas season.

Now, everyone loves me and children wait for my visit with Santa. You know, I love my nose now. It's not that bad.

"Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose; and if you ever see it, you would even say it glows."

Phew, they both finally finished reading the diary.

Watch out! Some exciting gifts will be reaching you through the chimney on Christmas morning!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy Ho Ho Ho Holidays!

Drew Latham, is a fictional character from the movie, Surviving Christmas. He is a wealthy advertising executive who tends to make everyone uncomfortable with his silly jokes, which often also land people into trouble. He's a bit of a control freak. But hey, that doesn't make him a bad person. If you have met Pooja, you would know they are amazingly similar. Her sense of humour is the best, and most popular. Ask anyone.

Now I'm sure you all know about the movie, A Christmas Carol. The main character Scrooge is quite a practical person. He is often misunderstood to be an intimidating person but in reality, there is more to his character! Now, according to me his personality kind of represents Nabila's. She seems to have a twisted sense of humour and people probably find her quite scary and strict but her close ones know that she is an amazing person, with an even better personality. Never be afraid of sarcasm!

Anyone who hasn't interacted with Yuvi is at a great loss. Why, you ask? She is simply an amazing person to be around. To tell you the truth, she reminds me of Buddy, the elf. Both of them have a lovable personality which appeals to adults, as well as the children. With Yuvi, a person can converse in a mature fashion, but at the same time talk about the most random, and immature topics. I have never met a more humble person than our elf of CC, Yuvi.

Now I'm pretty sure everyone on planet Earth knows about Anna and Elsa from 2013's super-hit animated film, Frozen! Remember how close and inseparable they were? Well guess what? We have our own Anna and Elsa over here at India-Forums and it's none other than Daya and Zoah! Their friendship resembles Anna and Elsa's sisterhood. While Daya is bubbly just like Anna, Zoah on the other hand is loving and selfless, like the snow queen, Elsa! Together, they are magical.

Together, Viz and Megha are idiots. Complete and utter idiots. When I see them together, I think of Harry and Marv. Similarly how Harry/ Marv thought of themselves as accomplished robbers, these ladies compare themselves to the Salvatore brothers. Rubbish. However, the two pairs have many more similarities, other than their delusions. One characteristic I do admire in the pairs is their determination. Harry/ Marv were ready to experience hell, but simply refused to take the easy way out by leaving Kevin alone. Similarly, Viz/ Meg continue to make everyone's life miserable, whether it is by pranking the Newbies, or teasing Jot, they are always up to something. The CC's very own Harry and Marv are special and we wouldn't want them any other way.

Yes! We have someone else from India-Forums who is just like another loved character from Frozen and that is Olaf! Olaf is a kind-hearted snowman. He's an extrovert, creative and he's friendly to everyone. Does it ring a bell? It's Arpita! Both of them are extremely welcoming to the new ones and she's obviously one of the most creative members in our family. You see these amazing tags? Yep, Arpita is responsible for such stunning-ness!

Remember the scary neighbour from Home Alone called Old Man Marley, better known as "the South Bend Shovel Slayer"? We actually find quite a few similarities between him and Shivu! No matter how scary she tries to act, she will always be an adorable person. Similarly, Marley looks scary but there is no man softer and kinder than him. Our Old Man of CC is a coconut, adorably scary from the outside but a warm idiot from the inside.

I'm guessing we all know -Koeli_Appy- aka Appy by now! She's an amazing person and not to forget how talented she is. Now according to me, her personality is quite similar to The Conductor, from 2004's animated movie: Polar Express. Even though she's super friendly, she is stern when it comes to work, just like the Conductor. Honestly though, how many birthday threads do not have Appy's work as a gift. The Conductor of CC is always ready to gift strangers and her friends, a piece of her marvellous work.

One fact everyone should know about Avni is that she loves brands, and quality fashion products, especially Chanel. She is never afraid to try new products, and experiment. Do you know what that reminds me of? Kevin, from Home Alone, especially because of a particular scene etched in my mind. I can imagine Avni using her mother's products when she was a kid, just like Kevin, who used his father's aftershave. Remember that scene? Boy it was hilarious! I can't wait to see more mischievous antics from our Kevin of CC.

Obviously, we have saved the best for the last. Harold and Kumar is a series of American comedy films which is based on two friends who are like chalk and cheese! One is a hard-worker while the other one is fearless and a fun-loving person. Even though they are quite different they are best friends and always have each other's back. I'm pretty sure you all have guessed it by now. It's none other than Annie and Krishna! CC's Harold and Kumar are the most loved and the hungriest twins of CC.
