Why is it that we eagerly await Christmas as the first monsoons are on their way?
Because of the holiday warmth from our families? Because of the twinkling lights, from the city to the smallest corners of the streets? Because of the pleasing sound of the Christmas bell while we diligently wait for our gingerbread to be done? Because of the surprising gifts on Christmas day?
