THEY MUST HAVE STRONG ROOFS:

Joyous Christmas celebrations across India (Times of India, Dec 25, 2005)

Christians across India on Sunday joyously observed Christmas, a festival that has acquired a universal appeal in this land of over one billion, with people from other religions too joining in the festivities.

From Chandigarh in the north to Chennai in the south, and from Mumbai in the west to Kohima in the northeast, the faithful flocked to churches for the midnight mass and to pay obeisance at the nativity tableau that depicts the birth of Jesus Christ.

Millions of homes across the country were gaily decorated with lights, buntings, stars, Santa Claus cut-outs and Christmas trees from under which children eagerly sought out the gifts laid out for them.

See how easy it is after the fall of the focus of evil.

Hadji the Red-Trunked Elephant
Had a very shiny trunk
And if you ever saw it
You'd exclaim, "Well, whoda thunk?"

All of the other elephants
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Hadji
Join in their parcheesi games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Hadji with your trunk so bright
Lead me to Bangalore tonight!"

Then all the elephants loved him
And they shouted out with glee
"Hadji, the Red-Trunked Elephant,
Is in a Bollywood movie!"
