By : Sharon Supriya Carol had a fight with one of her friend Stella over something silly and they didn't speak to each other for three long months. Now it was the time for Christmas and they were playing 'Secret Santa' in the church. Carol had the name of Stella on her chit. She said to herself, " uh ha!
