Hi Joy world, Miss you all last few days. There was some problems with My connection to Internet and God. That's why you didn't see any mails from me. Still there are some problem with my connection.. Hope to repair it soon. So how are you all doing?? Thanks to all initiators for discussions.
Now just 6 more days for X mas !!!!! Here everywhere in Festival mood. Eventhough only 10 % of the population is Christians all celebrate Xmas here in Lanka. Next 2 weeks you can't go to any shopping centers everywhere you can see shopping crowds and long Queaue. You can see various sales promotion by Supermarkets, FM's, MNC's like KFC, McDonald, Pizza etc etc.... Offices wont be working since most of the staff will be on vacation... it was general Election here and opposition UNP formed the new Govt. Everybody was expecting this change so all are happy... Here in my parish we are preparing for X mas in a nice way. Everyday after the Evening mass we all come out from the Church and there is a decorated Crib in from of Church. We all sing carols and light decoration bulbs there. Everyday we continue it with creativity. My parish crowd is very spiritual people and weekdays also we have a good crowd in the church. Our daily mass is in Sinhala so learning few Sinhala Carol songs these days. party time : Yes it is party time here... For bachelors like me who is staying alone would know the value of a good meal... These days all my friends are arranging X mas party. So 2 cool weeks are waiting for me. Thanks to Xmas and new year. hey friends.... It is X mas time and Let's start merry making.... Can you all share some joyful X mas memories from childhood... Elders like Mathew, Manoj etc you can share experience from your Youth days. We need some joyful Xmas memories.... All are welcome... Also please write how you all celebrate X mas in your place.. other than eating, drinking and Going to Church. Few lines about Christmas in Colombo. Christmas Night start with carols at 10.00 Pm and Holy mass will be celebrated in three languages. Important prayers, Homily, songs will be in all three languages (English, Sinhala & Tamil). So it will take more time than our mass in India. But it is a beautiful time where all races stand together in front of God with unity. Expecting many Christmas mails these days.... Luv you all, Suresh Colombo, Sri Lanka **************************************************************** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
