The
festive spirit has taken over the country which has savoured the once
unthinkable luxury of peace for one full year. Streets have been lit up
all over Colombo and Christmas carolling groups have been touring Jaffna
by night. After a prolonged period, Santa Claus it seems is bestowing
his goodies on the country at last. Quite in tune, this plastic Santa
was caught beckoning revellers near the colourfully lit roundabout near
St. Bridget’s Convent, Col. 7
