Your plans for Christmas?

December 9th, 2007 9:29 pm by TheHumanBot

What are your plans for Christmas? Are you going home (to Aizawl/Mizoram) ? Anybody coming home from overseas?

Will you be with family or with friends at Christmas? Anybody who will be alone at Christmas? Anybody flying away for vacation?

What do you prefer – “Chhungkaw ruai (family dinner)” or “Khawtlang ruai (feast)”? How long do you think the tradition of “Khawtlang ruai” at Christmas will exist?

I guess the tradition of “tlang thing phurh”, “tui chawi”, “hnahlak” still happen at villages? Anybody been to any of these activities?

Have you served as “fatu” at Christmas/ New year feast?

fatu, (p. 133) [ fatu, ] n one who presides at a feast; one who prepares and cooks a feast, serves the guests, and clears away after they have finished. There may be several such at a big feast and they are often relations of the one who gives the feast.

Eh oh! Send us Christmas pictures – Christmas tree, decoration, “ruai theh”, Santa etc..

    – Suar.. haw don chiang.

    Will you be with family or with friends at Christmas? Anybody who will be alone at Christmas? Anybody flying away for vacation?
    – Most of the time with my families.

    What do you prefer – “Chhungkaw ruai (family dinner)” or “Khawtlang ruai (feast)”? How long do you think the tradition of “Khawtlang ruai” at Christmas will exist?
    – Chhungkaw ruai in the morning (zing chaw eikhom) and khawtlang ruai in the evening/ afternoon :)
    I guess the tradition of “tlang thing phurh”, “tui chawi”, “hnahlak” still happen at villages? Anybody been to any of these activities?
    – It is still practice in my place like Thingphurh & hnah lak. But only few girls will accompany the guys (thingpui sem/ siam sak tur in)

    Have you served as “fatu” at Christmas/ New year feast?
    – Thleng kan sil thin!!
