Christmas is a major festival celebrated at the end of a calendar year. Though it commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, it breaks the boundaries of caste or communities to spread joy among all.
Preparations begin almost a month ago for Christmas, which has a religious sentiment. The main attraction of this festival is the Christmas tree, crib, Santa Claus, colorful stars, etc. Christmas tree gets decorated with lights, balloons, as it is in this tree Santa hides gifts for children.

During this season of joy, everybody enjoys a cultural holiday. People celebrate this festival with great enthusiasm They make Christmas special eatables called “Kuswar”. Houses and churches gear up for the festival with painting. People sing hymns called “Carlos”. They enjoy the moment and try to bring relief to troubled minds.
Most of the shops offer discount sales to increase the joy of the festival. Everyone gets into the frenzy of shopping. The center of attraction for Christmas is Santa Claus. He is the one who distributes gifts, sweets, and all other goodies. Now the Day is nearing. I wish you all a merry Christmas.
