It is that time of the year again. People rush out in droves to buy presents and to make merry with a few drink s and parties. The festive season takes over completely and people just try to keep up with the multitude of parties, get-togethers and office gatherings. But we really should not forget that Christmas, apart from being a religious feast, is also time for family and togetherness. We should also spare a thought for those who have no loved ones to share it with. I take this opportunity to wish all fellow readers a Merry Christmas, full of love and joy.
