HOSTING ALL CURRIES/GRAVIES, SOUPS, APPETIZERS & RICE VARIETIES
Yes its gonna be a Christmas special event!! Wow it was just like the last Christmas had been over few months ago, days are just flying and now we have just 60 days to Christmas!!! When you say the word Christmas the first thing that strikes your minds are Cribs, Gifts, Santa, Reindeer, Christmas trees, Carols, Celebrations, and obviously Jingle bells Song!!! But above all there is something that is being forgotten or even being ignored..I know everybody knows its Christ's B'day a special day, but what do we need to celebrate about actually? A Savior was given to us to carry away our sins, sickness, miseries on a cross. He gave up everything for our sake and took away the punishment that were meant to be ours. We must celebrate this greatness, share his love and spread his mercy. That's what we should celebrate Christmas for!! A simple manger scene is not what we should focus on...the whole journey of Christ's Salvation starts on this awesome day and all these should be remembered praised and shared.
Coming to the event me and Priya had decided a long time ago about this event and wanted to make it very special. It is her very first event and am really amazed with her skills of creating the logo and naming the event!!
