The first few pictures were great. I wish there were more Christmas-related pictures and not a completely irrelevant picture of children from the community jumping on a trampoline, which I'm sure is not limited to "Christmas time in Pakistan". It would be nice to see more pictures of Pakistani churches and preparations for their big day.

A very HAPPY CHRISTMAS to all our fellow Pakistanis. Any festivity belonging to any religion is a happy occasion and if we analyze all the happy days in any religion follow each other. During my younger days we enjoyed Christmas in Karachi and my dad used to bring fruit cake with almond icing especially from United Bakery every Christmas, the tradition which I have maintained till today. So let us all enjoy all the happy days to come.
