Christmas is coming and it is one of the festivals I await all the year. Actually, I love how Christmas is celebrated. In our country, during Christmas, many Christmas fairs are organized at various places. I make sure I make to one of them.
Also, as you clean your whole house during Christmas, we do the same during Diwali. Diwali is the most important festival of India.
Last but not the least, sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose your loved one. But still, we have to go on anyway.
