Christmas has finally come and everybody is making merry on this joyful day with great effervescence!

The Pope’s annual Christmas address to cardinals at the Vatican this time was so rife with anti-gay sentiments that even religious authorities within Churches are frowning with disappointment.

It’s nice to see everyone going green, even Santa Clause. But to tell you the truth, we weren’t really expecting green awareness to reach the North Pole but it sure has. A new children’s book by the name ‘Santa Goes Green’ has drawn attention of both kids as well as adults.
