X'Mas

Little Rimi was very angry.

She wanted to celebrate X'Mas then.


"For how long do I have to wait for Santa?" Rimi asked.

"X'Mas is still 6 months away, dear!" her Mom informed.

"Why do you love X'Mas so much?" Mom asked.

"Santa Claus, the cakes & the presents!" Rimi replied.



"I'll bake an X'Mas cake today for you and you can take it to your friend Suzy's place and celebrate", her Mom said.

Suzy was their Christian neighbour.

That evening, everyone, in Rimi's building, gathered together to celebrate X'Mas in Summer!

They were all wearing red Santa caps and were laughing & enjoying themselves.

The X'Mas tree was missing, but the sharing and caring & smiles were evergreen...

      Leslie, It was actually Rimi's Mom who baked the X'Mas cake for her. I'd have done it had my kid insisted :)
      Yes, any day is great for celebration!
