Merry Christmas from Amritsar

Merry Christmas for Tuesday.
We wish you all a fun day of eating and drinking with family and friends.

We didn't miss out on Christmas lights all together because there is a catholic church just up the road from here, St Paul's.  It is covered in Christmas lights and looks great.

Driving back into Amritsar from the border there was a tout selling Father Christmas hats and masks.  They looked like they would scare children.  Seems strange seeing Christmas stuff in a mostly Hindu country.  There is a small Christian community and commercialism is world wide.

We are looking forward to being in Dharamsala for Christmas.

  2. Thinking of you - especially when we are having cooler showers to compensate for the heat :) Have a Happy Christmas, in that most special part of the world :) I'd swap Christmas lunch for Indian vegetarian in a heartbeat.
