How interesting!!! It was interesting for the name from India. We have a gentleman that works in our dept and his name is Ganesh.
Have a Merry Christmas.

I believe!
He lives in the hearts of so many people - the children filling shoe boxes with gifts for underprivileged kids, the charity workers collecting year round for the poor worldwide, and the volunteers who cook Christmas dinner for the homeless folks in the big cities.
I like to think we all have a little Father Christmas in our souls. Merry Christmas!!
I'm a believer no matter what he is called. Lovely photos, Sunny.
Be well and have a wonderful day.
“Christmas at my house is always at least six or seven times more pleasant than anywhere else. We start drinking early. And while everyone else is seeing only one Santa Claus, we'll be seeing six or seven.”
Isn't it wonderful that 'love and generosity and devotion' exist in countries all around the globe?
Christmas around the World!!!!! How neat--showing Santa as he is celebrated in several different countries. I LOVE it. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Hugs,
Betsy--who definitely BELIEVES!

They all seem to have one thing in common, white hair and beards.

I've always loved the name Kris Kringle the best - It just sounds magical, as Santa is.
