I confess I don’t care much about Xmas. It was okay when I was a kid because of the presents I found under the tree. Apart from that, I found Xmas Day too long and boring and, yes, the food was alright but there’s just so much you can eat before your stomach starts cursing you.
And it reminded me a little of the insignificance of Christmas Day in other parts of the world, even here in Australia.
We live in Harris Park - located about 20km west from the Sydney CBD - and its population is primarily Indian. The main street of the suburb has been nicknamed "Little India" as there are so many Indian restaurants, sweet shops and sari stores on it.
While pretty much every business in other suburbs shut down on Christmas Day, Harris Park is alive and jumping with restaurant-goers and shoppers. It's quite amazing. Good Friday is the same. :)
A wonderful article, Gianni. Most enlightening.
