Festivals

Thekkinkkattil

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
