I swear. Every single one of you better go dig up your own version of this photo. I know you have at least one. Send 'em over. We'll post them.This is me - Kristina Michele Frazier and my best friend Babette. Now, I don't remember Babette's last name and honestly, I haven't seen her since 1971. I met her when we were living in an apartment building (managed by my grandparents) on Clay Street. I *think* I've marked the right location (or close enough). It was demolished many years ago.If you lived in or near FW during this time period, you could count on a couple of traditions.Your mom, dragging you downtown for a picture with Santa. Standing in line to get that picture of Santa.Getting tired of standing in that line for that picture with Santa.I don't know what anyone elses experience was

Santa Claus, Santa Claus You Are Much too FatI heard a reindeer hoof, then Santa dressed in red,came crashing thro’ the roof and landed on my bed.I thought it was a dream, but quickly did I wake,as soon as I heard Santa scream, “I want a piece of cake!”CHORUSOh, Santa Claus, Santa Claus, you are much too fat;I was sleeping peacefully but now my bed is flat. Oh!Santa Claus, Santa Claus, how much do you weigh?I’m glad I’m not a reindeer that has to pull your sleigh!He got up off the floor and said, “How do you do?”I said, “My back is sore, my head is black and blue.”“So sorry!” he replied, and then he asked my name.He offered me a ride, I said, “No, thank you just the same!”CHORUSI heard a “ho, ho, ho,” the sleigh was in the sky.but it was moving slow and wasn

Not just in an imagined, symbolic form. I mean in a sentient, self-aware way.Did we create him? Or did he create his own legend?Is Santa a ghost? Or an alien presence?An angel or an ascended human?Is Santa a visitor from the future?Is he pulling our strings? Is he ensuring enduring hope and joy?

What an amazing film! It's got everything. The origins of Santa, centuries of gift-giving, a corporate tycoon, magic, candy that makes you float, a homeless kid makes friends with a wealthy girl, and the kids get to stay at Santa's workshop!The cast is brilliant. Dudley Moore plays an elf, John Lithgow is the Scrooge of toys, and David Huddleston plays Santa! I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year, and at the end there was the most phenomenal Santa Claus I've ever seen. He looked exactly like the real thing. It was like a mall Santa is a blurry, out-of-focus TV Santa from the 70's, and this guy in the parade was Santa in HD, 2007. Brilliant. He even had the gestures down and everything. And the sheer joy radiating from his face was incredible. "Santa Claus" the movie reminded me of him. The movie Santa was believable as well.Dudley Moore faces of against another elf to be Santa's assistant. So many modern children necessitate a more efficient toy-makin

TAGLINE Blast off for Mars with Santa and a pair of Earth kids! Science-Fun-Fiction at its height! THE PLOT After centuries of machine-induced learning and suppression of any frivolous thoughts, the children of Mars (at least the only two we ever see) are becoming zombies. Acting on the advice of their 800 year old sage, the adult Martians set out to kidnap Santa Claus from Earth and bring him to their planet so Martian children can experience the joys of childhood. Complications arise when, along with Santa, the Martians are forced to take captive two Earth children who witnessed their arrival. The eeevil Martian Voldar, who fears the results of introducing fun into Martian society, makes a number of attempts to murder Santa and the kids, but is easily thwarted by a bit of the old Kris Kringle magic. All is not well, however, as Santa learns his captors plan to keep him on Mars... forever (ever...ever...ever). And Christmas is just a few days away! With the precious seconds tick

This is the second post from new guest writer Davin Blu presented for Christmas Eve. Please support his blog Eclectideas. If your Spanish is limited, scroll to the bottom of the post to see the translation. Santa Claus, Papa Noel, el Espíritu de la Navidad y otros muchos nombres hacen alusión a una leyenda. La tradición del espíritu de la Navidad es de origen nórdico, pero muy influyente también en las celebraciones latinas. Niños, jóvenes y adultos realizan diferentes ritos antes del 21 de diciembre, con el objeto de dar gracias por las bendiciones que han recibido a lo largo del año y también para pedir nuevos deseos, tales como las pastorelas. ¿Por qué esta fecha es la que recibe el espíritu de la Navidad? Esta es la noche más larga del año y se convierte en uno de los días más especiales, no sólo por este motivo, sino también porque se celebra el solsticio de invierno, instante en el que la tierra se encuentra más distante del Sol. En estos solsticios se recib

Kind-hearted parents-to-be Nicole Richie and Joel Madden threw a special pre-Christmas party, in Los Angeles on Saturday, for underprivileged kids. The couple helped to hand out gifts to 200 children from Beyond Shelter, which helps combat homelessness and poverty, at the bash hosted by their charity, the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation. They donated new shoes and teddy bears to the kids at the extravaganza. “We really wanted to give these kids a really wonderful and special Christmas,” Richie says about the party thrown by the couple’s Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on Saturday. “It’s our favorite holiday.” Madden adds, “It's fun for us to be with a bunch of kids who are having a good time. They make you smile. Hopefully for today they're feeling special. We're just really happy to be a part of the community and celebrating with these kids who haven't been as fortunate as us.”

It seems that some Caramel Bellas have gotten into the holiday spirit. Nicole Richie and boyfriend, Joel Madden treated 200 kids to a holiday extravaganza on Saturday. The couple told People magazine: “We really wanted to give these kids a really wonderful and special Christmas,” Richie says about a party thrown by the couple’s Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on Saturday. “It’s our favorite holiday.” The couple gave away Stride-Rite shoes and Cloud B Cuddle Cub teddy bears to Beyond Shelter children. The organization helps families combat homeless and poverty. The children had fun with face-painting, balloon animals and ate hot dogs. The kids even got to throw a pie in Joel’s face. According to People magazine: It’s fun for us to be with a bunch of kids who are having a good time,” an unfazed Madden said later. “They make you smile. Hopefully for today they’re feeling

La Navidad no deja de tener como todo en la vida, fanáticos seguidores como extremistas detractores. Hay quienes consideran estas fiestas un periodo exaltado por el capitalismo para promover el consumo masivo de bienes, una especie de complot oculto de los poderosos del planeta, que mueven estos días mas que nunca, nuestros hilos de marionetas; otros las conciben con un alto sentido espiritual, mas allá de las tradiciones religiosas y muchos otros como un tiempo de oración dentro de los mas puros cánones cristianos. De igual forma existen personas que detestan las figuras y los emblemas de estas fiestas, y otros se decantan por unas tradiciones repudiando otras. Hoy me conseguí con una página muy graciosa así como irreverente, una Web española anti-San Nicolás, Papa Noel, Santa Claus o como quieran llamarle. En ella pueden ver entre, otros, un video con una canción que se llama el "Rap de los Reyes", en el cual se ataca duramente al principal personaje de las navidades

En estas fechas tan señaladas de paz, amor y fraternidad, un niño escribe su carta a Papá Noël... Mítico momento del programa de Gomaespuma ¡Felices Fiestas! [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Si alguien tiene una noticia bizarra que supere a esta este año, que avise. Dice la crónica de Montevideo.com: "El helicóptero en el que Papá Noel se dirigía a entregar regalos a niños pobres de Río de Janeiro fue tiroteado sobre una favela, y el ícono navideño debió completar su viaje en automóvil" Terrible. Ametrallaron al gordo Noel, un tipo que tiene una misión claramente de paz y de fraternidad regalando juguetes a todos los niños del mundo. Ya no hay respeto por nada. Nada. Varias cosas acerca de esta noticia me atormentan: ¿Qué hacia Papá Noel arriba de un helicóptero? ¿Los renos ya no le rinden? ¿Los mandó a seguro de paró? ¿Los vendió a una fábrica de embutidos? Nunca había visto tanta ingratitud desde lo que Napoleón le hace a Bóxer en Animal Farm.Además, el helicóptero en Río de Janeiro es claramente símbolo de ser parte de la oligarquía. Que paso Noel, ¿ya no querés codearte con el tipo de a pie? ¿

Every year there is talk about whether or not we are going to have a Santa Claus rally, and like many other phenomenon in the world of investing we can speculate about the possibilities until we're blue in the face. However, we won't actually know if there is going to be a rally until after it's happened.What is a Santa Claus or Christmas Rally?A Santa Claus rally is the phenomenon of the stock market rallying in the week between Christmas and New Year (this of course doesn't always happen).Why does it Happen?There is no single reason behind the Christmas rally but there are many possible explanations that have been suggested: 1. People investing their Christmas bonuses2. General happiness of fund managers and investors due to the festive season.3. Investors erroneously equating increased sales over the Christmas period to increased future share prices.4. Money managers pilling money back into the market so that they don't have to explain why they ended the year with such a h

Source: MangUcup.org Sinterklas nama sebenarnya ialah Nicolaas lahir sekitar 280 sesudah Masehi di Patara tidak jauh dari Myra (Demre) di negara Turki. Ayahnya adalah orang Arab yg bernama Ephiphanius sedangkan Ibunya bernama Nonna, jadi tidaklah salah kalau saya tulis bahwa Sinterklas itu orang Arab, berdasarkan tempat kelahiran maupun berdasarkan keturunannya. Saya menulis Artikel ini sebab pada tgl 6 Desember adalah hari ulang tahunnya dari Sinterklas yg dirayakan diseluruh dunia, terutama di negara2 Eropa, apalagi di Holland tempat dimana saya tinggal pada saat ini. Berdasarkan hasil survey di negara2 Eropa maupun USA, ternyata Sinterklas adalah orang ketiga paling beken setelah Tuhan Yesus dan Bunda Maria, tetapi hanya sedikit sekali orang mengetahui siapa sebenarnya Sinterklas ini dan bagaimana sejarahnya. Sinterklas sangat beken bukan hanya di Holland saja, melainkan juga di Italy, Yunani dan Rusia, sehingga banyak anak lelaki disana yg diberi nama Nicolaas dan untuk perempua

A family occasion yesterday and amongst other topics we touched briefly upon Santa Claus and I was explaining about the NORAD Santa tracking system. I'll be honest, not everyone believed me and I had to spend some time explaining that both Santa and Rudolph are real and that the North Pole is quite a cool place to hang out at this time of year. NORAD uses 47 radar installations to track Santa once he has lifted off and then uses geo-synchronous satellites with infra-red sensors to detect Rudolph's nose's unique I/R signature. Santa Cams were added a few years ago and capture images of Santa and the Reindeer as they make their journey around the world. And a particularly fast plane takes off out of Newfoundland to escorts Santa. Of course the reindeer Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph are pretty used to all of this nowadays. Check out how things are shaping up here.Technorati Tags: rashbre, santa, santa+claus, NORAD, North+Pole, Rudolph, Rein

A new reader of mine, The Editrix, who writes the excellent blog Roncesvalles [see Note 1] wasn't thrilled with the male examples in my article Christmas Hotties, and so left this comment:Sorry, but the males (apart from the old and fat ones, who do not count) look more like gay icons to me than something a mature and red-blooded woman would enjoy. No Sean Connery pics? As many of you already know, I may not be a dhimmi but I am a slave to my readers; here for your enjoyment is Sean Connery in full Christmas regalia. And if you are wondering if this is a doctored photo, I can assure you that I got it directly from Reuters, a news media with unquestioned integrity.

According to rumor, a remake of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, a holiday favorite at our house, is in the works. The remake will probably suck bad, but on the off-chance Hollywood executives read my blog or I can get some kind of grassroots movement started, I'm here to explain how a remake of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, if done right, could be totally kick-awesome.First of all, and most importantly, it would be a Kung Fu movie. The basic idea is already zany, so the only thing to do is give into the zaniness, and nothing is zanier than Kung Fu. Here's a tentative cast list:Dropo: Jackie ChanKimar: Jet LiMomar: Michelle YeohSanta Claus: John Rhys-DaviesLord Voldar: a cyborg, mostly animatronics and CGI, but played by Mark HamillRudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: voiced by Shia LaBeoufWinky the Chain-Smoking Elf: Brad PittAnd here's an outline of the opening scenes:Our story opens in Santa Claus's massive industrial complex at the North Pole where his elves are hard at work

The Physics of Christmas 1) No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen. 2) There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn’t (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist cihldren, that reduces the workload to to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that’s 91.8 million homes. One presumes there’s at least one good child in each. 3) Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seemes logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a se

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR!USELESS MEN TACKLE THE HOLIDAYS FOR CHRISTMAS WEEK 2007!Only 19 more days until our Christmas shopping starts. Dear Useless Men, My 8 year old son was asking me some tough questions about Santa the other day. Should I break the news to him, or let him learn the truth from his school friends? RudyDear Rudy, This question is way too ambiguous. How can we help when you haven't really defined the problem? Allow me to explain for our readers what I mean, so that we can avoid the necessity to truncate what could have been a perfectly good question. 1) What are these tough questions about Santa? Why is Santa fat? That's a tough question. Is Santa gay? That's another toughie. Is it spelled Clause or Clause? Or Klause? Or Klaus? Is Santa really a stand-up comedian? He looks like that one from Tool Time. That's a more curious question than tough one. Is Santa a Canadian? Do you see? Without any direction as to your 8-year-old's Santa dilemma,

Last Christmas, I told Ian that his Christmas gift was from Santa Claus, he accepted the story but commented that Santa bought the mixer truck in Jusco as he remembered seeing it in Jusco. Smart boy. This year, I helped Ian to write a letter to Santa Claus, asking for a bicycle. He has outgrown his tricycle, which I planned to pass on to Isabel. Originally I planned to buy him a bicycle on his birthday, but it seems can’t wait any longer, so that plan changed to be Christmas gift from Santa. I really can’t wait to see his expression on Christmas, when he sees his new bike. I’m buying him a new school bag with trolly. Still thinking what to get for Isabel - she can’t play with anything for longer than 5 min. Really a waste of money, buying any gifts for her. This girl… maybe a potty for her to wear on her hat? That’s what she does with her current potty!

Little Johnny got ripped off for Christmas and writes a letter to Santa Claus. Dear Santa, You must be surprised that I”m writing to you today, the 26th of December. Well, I would very much like to clear up certain things that have occurred since the beginning of the month, when, filled with illusion, I wrote you my letter. I asked for a bicycle, an electric train set, a pair of roller blades, and a football uniform. I destroyed my brain studying the whole year. Not only was I the first in my class, but I had the best grades in the whole school. I”m not going to lie to you, there was no one in my entire neighborhood that behaved better than me, with my parents, my brothers, my friends, and with my neighbors. I would go on errands, and even help the elderly cross the street. There was virtually nothing within reach that I would not do for humanity. What balls do you have leaving me a ***king yo-yo, a stupid whistle and a pair of socks. What the *** were you thinking, you

If we are to have the cliche Santa Claus rally this year we really need to get started already. The only reason I bring this up is because a bunch of retailer stocks showed up on the EMA, 4, 8, 21 crossover screen this evening. This fact may be meaningful on what was a soft day in the market overall.Of those retailers that popped out of this filter tonight, I like the Macy's chart quite bit. M looks like it might be bouncing after trading at a new two year low recently. Here's the chart:I don't really think of it as a big Christmas shopping store, but JOSB showed up on the crossover filter as well today and I do like this chart quite a bit. It's another bottom feeder special. Check it out: TJX and GYMB also popped out of the crossover filter but these two charts don't excite me a whole lot.Disclaimer: This is not investment advice. It is merely what one risk tolerant know nothing is irresponsibly doing with his own money. Do your own homework before investing in anything.

NORAD uses four high-tech systems to track Santa - radar, satellites, Santa Cams and jet fighter aircraft.It all starts with the NORAD radar system called the North Warning System. This powerful radar system has 47 installations strung across Canada's North and Alaska. NORAD makes a point of checking the radar closely for indications of Santa Claus leaving the North Pole on Christmas Eve.The moment our radar tells us that Santa has lifted off, we begin to use the same satellites that we use in providing warning of possible missile launches aimed at North America. These satellites are located in a geo-synchronous orbit (that's a cool phrase meaning that the satellite is always fixed over the same spot on the Earth) at 22,300 miles above the Earth. The satellites have infrared sensors, meaning they can see heat. When a rocket or missile is launched, a tremendous amount of heat is produced - enough for the satellites to see them.Rudolph's nose gives off an infrared signature simi

Now that my daughter is nearing 2 1/2, Christmas in her eyes is proving to be very entertaining. The lights, the decorations, the songs, Santa Claus...At first she was pretty freaked out about the idea of a big guy breaking into the house through the chimney, but now she’s fine with it because he brings presents. When wife sings, “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” she quickly interrupts with “no mommy, he coming to my house…to bring me PRESENTS!!!” (hooray!)Upon seeing this supernatural influence, I saw a great opportunity to help with the potty training cause. I’ve told her Santa only brings presents on Christmas to big kids that use the potty…and guess what? Every time she sees any Santa, or any mention of him, she wants to use the potty. So far his magical powers seem to be

Parece que Microsoft ha contratado los servicios de Santa Claus, y le han creado una cuenta en el Messenger para que se pueda hablar con él… puedes decirle lo que quieres como regalo de navidad, preguntarle como es la vida en el polo norte, etc… Solo tienes que añadir como contacto en el Messenger a siguiente dirección northpole@live.com… Listo. Tuve una consersación con él y le pedí una casa nueva, coche y más dinero,pero creo que me dio el “si” de los tontos… Compártelo

It is one month before Christmas, however, the city is full of joy. The Christmas decorations are ready to show in Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway bay. More and more decorations will be ready for you to enjoy in the coming couple of weeks. Come and feel the joyful in the town. See you in Hong Kong this Christmas. Most light decorations will be closed down after midnight, except Christmas Week and New Year Week.

Dear Virginia, Your little friend was wrong. He was scared by the skepticism of a skeptical age. He did not believe what he had seen. He thought that nothing could be comprehensible by little minds, like your own. All minds, Virginia, whether they be adults or children’s, are capable of knowing the truth. Your friend considered, in this great universe of ours, children as mere ants, in intellect, as compared with the adults around him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. No, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus. Love, generosity, and devotion certainly exist, but that round, jolly man in the red suit that gives children presents by coming through your chimney is a fabrication made by adults upholding a tradition. Alas! how lovely would the world be if adults told the truth to their children! It would be as lovely as if your parents had told you, Virigina, instead of having to ask a third-party adult like myself. There would

Do you know that Santa Claus has a small house in Florence with a place where you can throw the letters written for him? No, it’s not a joke… IT’S FLORENCE NOEL 2007! This year again the Station Leopolda, from the 24th of November to the 2nd of Dicember, will be changed in a Christmas microspace, housing a new ediction of Florence Noël. Florence Noël, organised by Country Florence is a market exhibition all dedicated to Christmas. To the exhibition participate every year many selectioned expositors, in a fairy- tale scenary which perfectly recalls Christmas atmosphere. (more…)

Santa Claus hung out in front of the Worthington Inn all afternoon Sunday, November 25, 2007 meeting kids. However when the Worthington Police delivered Santa to the Worthington Green for the Tree Lighting he seemed disoriented, saying something about being in Westerville… Westerville, Worthington, I guess when you only visit a couple of times each year, you could get the two Central Ohio communities confused.  He’ll have his reindeer to help him out on December 24 when he comes back to deliver the goods. It was raining pretty good by the time Santa got to the Worthington Green for the tree lighting at 5:30. A few Christmas carols were sung by candle light. There were lots of umbrellas as you can see of the photo of the tree on the south- east quadrant of the Worthington Green. We got there late afternoon, walked up and down the street, took lots of photos that did not turn out, got coffee at the Mean Bean and listened to e Christmas carols in the rain.

Ever since I was a kid I always wanted to play video games. I used to play Super Mario which is a very popular game 20 years ago. Every year new gaming systems are being released: from family computer (which is a very obsolete one LOL) to nintendo and now PlayStation 3. Now that Christmas [...]

Someone I know told me today how her nine year old son recently realized Santa Claus wasn’t real. He wanted to see the movie Fred Claus and because he wanted to see it, he wanted to learn about it. So he read a newspaper article. The article was an interview with Vince Vaughn saying how he had learned that Santa didn’t exist. That went over well…… I learned Santa wasn’t real in an odd way, too. I was 8 years old and I was playing with a teddy bear that I distinctly remembered getting from Santa Claus at Christmas. I looked at the tag for some reason and it said “Made in China.” Now, I was a smart kid, so I knew that Santa made his toys in the North Pole, not in China. So I went to ask my mom why it said “Made in China.” The look on her face told me everything I needed to know. She tried to give me a reasonable explanation, but it wasn’t working; I knew and she knew I knew. I cried so hard! It was even more distressing beca

There is much lore about how Santa Claus came to be. And lots of cynics will tell you it’s part of the commercialization of Christmas, a plot by the retailers and greeting card industry to get people to spend lots of money each year. I have my own theory on the origins of Santa Claus. The whole concept was devised by a parent, probably one with at least three kids like me. Think about it. Santa only brings presents to good little boys and girls. Parents are always looking for some enticement to get kids to behave. And, Santa is always watching to see if you’ve bad or good. Simply brilliant! Now we just need to work this into other times of the year…

photo by Space PotatoSeriously, is Recovery even real? Or is it something doctors make up to tell their patients so that they will keep coming back over and over again for more medication, more therapy, more hope. Can someone with anxiety ever be "normal"?I have been trying to be grateful and soak in the goodness I have been feeling lately since I haven't had a full on panic attack but that doesn't mean I am cured. I am far from it. I still get anxious and I have anticipatory anxiety and I am majorly avoiding my fears. This weekend I have a conference for work that involves a luau and a family BBQ. Did I think to myself, "Oh that sounds like fun. I can't wait to go." No. In fact I put down that I wouldn't be attending. Why? Because I don't know how to drive there and I don't want to stress about trying to find it myself or feel stupid for putting someone out of their way for a ride. Also because I will be going alone and I don't feel like having to eat at a small table with oth

*updated at the bottom*Yesterday started my eighth (8th) week of my two (2) week resignation. But this is it. Eight. This is my last week. The 'new' replacement started yesterday and the training has begun.She didn't seem very happy when she left yesterday. Her comments were akin to "this isn't what they said I'd be doing in the interview" "this wasn't the job description they gave me". I've said all along my 'bosses' had no idea what I did or how our organization works. They show up for a 1 hour meeting once a month and don't even see me or the inside of the organization. They didn't involve me in the hiring process nor the interview process outside of asking if I could 'jot down a job description'. I did. I wrote a 1 1/2 page job description and more condensed 3 paragraph job description. They had this when they did the hiring.I have no idea what they told her job would be, I only know that it's my job to train her and show her how to do my job. I hope she

Coquimbo was a one off port of call for us on our 18 day South America cruise. North of Valparaiso, the hot dry sun was a welcome change after the cold weather of the south.Coquimbo is another Chilean coastal town surrounded by hills and tin houses. Wide concrete staircases led up the hills. It was dry and brown and reminded me of the Pueblos Jovenes in Lima, Peru. Once again I was surprised by how poor the town was.The bay was full of small wooden fishing boats. There was a fish market in the port. Fishermen were landing and weighing their catches on the dock. Unwanted catches were cut up and left for the seagulls. There were a lot of people around watching. The seafood was then being sold in the fish market.In the main square in the town were some tall palm trees with narrow trunks and a giant christmas tree. A toy santa claus was climbing up the tree on a ladder.Magical Places Fine Art websiteMagical Places Fine Art online shop at ImagekindMagical Places Fine Art online shop at Cafe

Santa Claus visited Gulmarg in Jammu and Kashmir after a gap of 17 years as tourists and locals got together to celebrate a 'white' Christmas on Monday.Locals gathered to pray for peace at a mass ceremony held in the town church. Muslims joined Christians to offer prayers, hoping for an end to violence and bloodshed that has claimed over 45,000 lives in state's 17-year rebellion.There should be peace, prosperity and happiness in the valley, and I have come here to pray for that, said Sarfaraz Khan, a local dressed as Santa Claus.Click here for more detailshttp://www.hillstationsinindia.blogspot.com
