Happy Holidays from YFU India!
Christmas stockings and presents waited by the tree, but something was missing ...
... the shining lights of Christmas cheer!!
OK, you bring the sparkly Christmas decorations ....
... and I'll bring the holiday pancakes!
The pancakes didn't last long, and neither did the rest of the traditional holiday meal.
On that Christmas night, the partiers
brought sexy back to New Delhi ...
... and oops, they did it again!
Finally, a midnight visit to the cathedral, seeking last minute redemption.
Some church-goers sported festive X-mas dress at midnight mass. Happy holidays!
