Christmas Rangoli

Festive season is round the corner and I suppose all the families have been planning and decorating their houses. Isn,t it? Lights, and my personal favorite, colours and a colorful beautiful rangoli.

Sometimes doing certain things together prospers harmony in a family. I and my elder sister have one such thing in common. We both love to make and design rangoli. My sister is not a keen appreciator of art work, but rangoli is one such thing that astonishingly she likes as well as helps me making it during Diwali and Holi. Certainly, colours are the thing that attracts all.

Even my father helps me decorating the rangoli whenever possible. My mother does the chores, according to the festive, and I am given the task of decorating the home with help of my sister. After cleaning, me and my sister first priority is to make a beautiful rangoli at the entrance. Now we can see lot of intricate rangoli designs on internet
