Christmas Goodies

Christmas coupled with half yearly holidays seems to have a lot in store for the kids and the parents.

The Little Theater's Pantomime at the Museum Theater, Egmore sounds like a must see. There is a 3 PM show as well on 11th, 12th and 13th - hoping to go (remembering the last time I proposed something like that and the rain gods disposed!). Well, one doesn't stop hoping.

There's Dakshinachitra Anniversary followed by their Margazhi Fest. There's Plan B - A new circus show at Sir Mutha Venkatasubbarao Hall on Dec 17th and 18th - would like to catch up on these as well (Err...I'm on the edge where Hope meets Greed). Not to mention the Landmark Sale...

Kaanchana Paati is organising a Workshop on Film Making for kids 8 yrs +. Wow!  idiscoveri  has story telling and art & craft sessions.... 

And then there's a lot more going on at the usual kids' haunts - Vanilla, Hansel & Gretel, Baby's Day Out, etc. Get. Set. Go.

Btw, Pattu would like to know if Santa Claus Ummachi will give her a gift if she is a good girl.

A very informative post Jayashree. Good that your little girl likes Santa. Mine is terrified of him. She had great expectations of Santa until she met him. He picked her up and gave her a bear hug before she realized what was going on and she her been terrified since then :)
However, like a true manager, she has delegated the duty of collecting the gifts from Santa to us :)
One word of caution for the parents. There seems to be a 'virus' doing the rounds in the city. Nope, this is not the now 'Familiar' swine or other varieties. This is a queer version of cold and fever thats being branded a 'virus' so, take care when you are visiting Vanilla palace or B.D.O or other public places :)
Happy holidays.

Jayashree - You bet - maybe I'll bump into you :)

Aryan's Mom - I'm sure the Ummachis and the Santa are having a good laugh too :)

Life Refactored - One of the Santa's did terrify her once, but the more amicable ones came along and erased that memory, thankfully. What really keeps the bond is the 'Gift' part! (Btw, I'm Uma and Jayashree has left a comment here :))

A very informative post. Err..Is there 'another' Landmark sale? I thought they were done with the sale (held sometime in September I guess) for this year. I really don't mind one anyway!
