MERRY XMAS





With christmas celebrations all round the corner i decided to wrute smthg on the same although i dont know much about it.Christmas is celeberated all the world and it has the same theme everywhere but the difference and verstility comes into action due to the different customs and traditions.
CHRISTMAS being a bonanza for the children as they get spectacular gifts from the fictious SANTA CLAUS who comes from the north pole on a sledge run by reindeers.


Christmas the birth anniversary of Jesus Christ is celebrated in India with great fervor all over India by the Christians.People decorate their houses, erect Christmas trees, and make cribs with figures of baby Jesus, Mother Mary, Joseph, the three kings who come to visit the baby and shepherd boys and their herds grazing around depicting the scenes of Jesus' Birth in the Bible. They decorate the Christmas tree, hang stars, gifts and illuminate them.

On the Christmas day, people enjoy a sumptuous Christmas lunch. Christmas cakes and wine are served to visitors and exchanged as gifts among friends and relatives.

The festival of Christmas is celebrated for ten continuous days. The end of these Christian festivities is the New year day. The British introduced the Gregorian Calendar and throughout their rule it was the only calendar in use for official purposes. Even after they left and India became independent that calendar is being followed in India for official purposes. The first day of January is the New year day of the Gregorian Calendar.
