Christmas season brought a few new characters to my kids' lives to tell stories about, while role-playing. So these days they are making up stories (in Malayalam) that go something like this- "Ganapathi (Lord Ganesh) wanted fruit and his mother Parvathy brought him that which a demon tried to take from him and suddenly Yesu (Jesus) came to the rescue and he jumped at the demon and Yesu and Ganapathy together attacked and killed the demon and Joseph and Mary came running to see if Yesu was hurt and Parvathy and Shiva told them no, there is no problem and then Muruka also came on a peacock so the whole Shiva family and Joseph family had a party and had a lot of fun together..."
