A typical Christmas celebration in Shillong

Your table will be full of Christmas cakes from friends & families, they will be popping in throughout the day for tea & cake and at night a Christmas eve party , upstairs elderly uncles & aunts sitting around the fireplace drinking and crooning to some Elvis , Frank Sinatra numbers while someone strums a guitar ... downstairs the young ppl dancing & partying like its New Year's Eve! Outside in the courtyard a few of us standing by this huge cackling bonfire and having this drunk "intellectual " conversation ! Tomorrow morning Church service, the guilty ones always sitting in the last row nursing a hangover !! After that buses waiting in every locality to take us for a Christmas picnic to Barapani !! They"ll be singing & dancing inside the bus, kids screaming ," Merry Christmaaaas!!!" 

- That's Shillong for you :) MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone !!!
