Festival days are random ones
Fill your life with laughter and fun
Friends and family gather around
Gifts and parcels make their round
Fasting and feasting are the major ones
Little traditions are called upon
To make the gathering a solemn one
Food you eat is not the normal one
Meet the people you miss in life
Laze around with little thought
And so we meet yearly once
To tell our children we are one
