I think the trend of giving gifts to poor people during Christmas was started by people who dressed up as Santa clause. Gradually this trend became popular among other people too.

I am loving the idea of Christmas wishes coming pouring in almost one month in advance. Is this to remind people for keep gifts ready? But I can understand the point well.

Okay as I can see it was 2 years 10 months before. That make it January 2010. His point is genuine in this case.
Friends this time I have planned to spend Christmas eve in a very special way. Christman is celebrated in Kolkata with lots of fun and excitement. I will make cake at home. What about you guys?
Even I have planned in a very unique way, if every thing goes right I shall be in a beautiful Far Eastern country for a few days. I have not visited there for almost two years

I spent one Christmas at Carbar a small place in Karnataka. That is a memorable experience for me for wrong reasons. When I came back to my hotel police took me to police station nearby and released me almost an hour later after confirming my identity, later I was told the place was famous for smugglers. :laugh: :laugh: I left for Goa by boat next morning. :laugh:

Karvar right? It has some resorts which are in islands at sea and many foreigners visit there.Besides it is a naval base , so I guess they have these checks, but frankly I don't see why you should have been targeted....I am sure the person/persons they intended to catch slipped away with all the confusion..

That was in 80s, when we had no communication like today and the night time made it more difficult. They called my home town by urgent telephonic call' on my payment to my parents and confirmed my identity that way. This happened despite I was serving a Bangalore based company but no way to contact office in night hours.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!.
