  12. I always wanted to taste your rum cake especialy when it won the Kerala association prize last year. I wished I lived near by you when I read the post. I loved your idea of giveaway, I am also planning to do homemade gift for friends and relatives this year. Its fun and exciting. I am keeping my fingers crossed to make my plum cake, as the last 2 attempts were failurse. Hope it comes out good this time. Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

  13. Hey chechi! You wanna know wht I love best about this time of the year? Here goes! :) All through the year we mop and cry and complain about everything under the sun. But then December comes! We hear the high notes of a Christmas carol. We see a lil one running through the supermarket aisle with a Christmas tree decoration in his hand. We smell the aroma of baked plum cakes in bakeries. All these just put a smile on my face and reminds me that there is still something to look forward to the next year. Calling relatives we hardly call, making dishes we hardly make, taking a vacation we hardly take, pampering ourselves with gifts we will hardly use. The best moment for me is when I put the star on top of my Christmas tree. :)

  16. For me, my Christmas moment would be 5 things: Family, friends, Christmas films, church and Christmas feast!!! It's the most wonderful time of the year... The Christmas feeling is that of charm, bliss and happiness. There can be no better feeling in this world than being with your loved ones, sipping on hot chocolate and just enjoying life in general. The Christmas season is such a magic time for of all ages! It brings back so many feelings of love, joy and laughter. May beautiful moments and happy memories surround you with joy this Christmas.

  20. Christmas is always able to awake the best we have in our hearts and make us smile at life. Maybe it is because it brings back memories of when we were kids and enjoying all the magic of Christmas. Seeing our family together sharing smiles, the joy of children playing and looking forward to the time to unwrap the gifts and see how the differences disappear, Christmas makes the best and most beautiful of all seasons

  22. The best part of the season is remembering those who make the holidays meaningful..Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance - a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved..Merry Christmas and Happy Newyear Manju

  23. Would love to win your goodie bag Manju !! I drool over most of your lovely creations especially the cakes. Oh.. Whats the best part of the season u ask? Hmm.. I think I love everything about the season.. The best part has to be the fact that families come together from where ever they are and spend valuable time together.. Buying the christmas tree, doing the decorations together, getting presents for the near and dear ones, attending the mass at midnight and following many other unique traditions.. I love the red, green, gold and white themed decorations everywhere.. And finding Santa everywhere we go and seeing kids queue up to meet him makes me wish that I was a kid once again ;) Of course not to mention I go and drool near the bakery section in every shop trying to learn new dishes which are unique to Christmas :)

  24. Christmas to me is a celebration, which includes spending time with my family, decorating the entire house, inside and out, and shopping, for the people I love. Doing this with the people I love is what means the most to me.
