| Christmas In India Notwithstanding that in other parts of India it is a lesser Christmas. But as Goa is inhabited by maximum Roman Catholics, almost every home has the light of a star shinning. All over India Churches have family day and other get-togethers for their parishioners. This way families come together to celebrate their grand feast. Sometimes even games are arranged for children of different age groups with snacks, where Santa comes in to meet the kids. Kids love to meet the big red man with a sack full of gifts. Even more because he gives them toffees and gifts. This style of celebrations is carried out for Christmas in Goa and other parts of India. Moreover the advent season i.e. the period before Christmas is spent in prayer and thanksgiving. Sweetmeats are prepared at home for Boxing Day and for all the guests who are to come. Every home even makes a crib to put baby Jesus in on Christmas Day. New clothes are purchased, homes are refurbished and happiness is welcomed with arms outstretched. |

Christmas is really fun in every country and India is no exception. It just depends on how you are used to celebrating the event and how you see things are going with you. Personally, Christmas is all about spending it with your friends and loved ones so as long as you are all in one place when the clock strikes midnight, it will be all good. The Christmas spirit, quite surprisingly is really relived. |
