Suggestions for the album title are welcome.The few weeks before Christmas consisted of decorating our GK2 premises and constructing our creche. Our Michaelangelo was Siavash and he lived up to his perfectionist artist role to a tee.

Mike, Siavash and I in the heat of the creative process.
The workshop when we were finished with the creche.
The finished product, minus Baby Jesus who appeared at midnight Christmas Morning. It really brought me back to my high school days of theatre set building. Doesn't the door look fab?
With the Creche finished we had to hang the star. We used rope and strung it over the street from our building to the building under construction across from us.

Gilly and Siavash help hang the star from the construction building across the street.
The construction labourers going about their business. This is how all new structures are built in India: by hand, pouring the cement and laying the brick, propping up new floors with bamboo poles and constructing support pillars from metal rods. Its mindblowing to watch.
In the run up to Christmas we did a lot of caroling around Delhi. It was good fun but I'll be ok if I don't ever have to sing O Holy Night again!
A visit to some nuns in GK2.
Our director Nev during the caroling. My Christmas gift to Nev was learning Bob Dylan's Slow Train to sing along with the Sahara House band.Here's how the GK2 looked: amazing!
Christmas Day arrives and Nina and I get into the holiday spirit by shelling 15 kg peas.
Sudesh keeps a smile on his face as works his way through the onions for the feast tonight.
As the night arrived, Reeti and I made ourselves look 'pretty.'
Santa shows up.
Christmas night was great fun. Over a hundred people from all the projects around Delhi came and we had evening devotion and the feast and dancing for hours. I love Christmas in India.

The Holy.The Holy Night,,, The cross is burning, it’s on fire. The man is roped! Humanity afire ... It is my last night sauntering on this path. Have I been chosen to pay for this wrath?.Michelangelo might have been blind,,,he never saw they contaminate the clean ocean from Renascence to the dawn of the Holy Night.
