Christmas When: 25th December Christmas is a Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ at the stroke of midnight. Christmas is one of the most secular celebrations, and people in India, belonging to every religion, get into the spirit of the season and celebrate Christmas. Celebrations A midnight mass is held and families walk together to the church to attend the mass, where carols are also sung. The churches are beautifully lit up and decorated with Poinsettia flowers and candles. The day of Christmas Eve many Christians follow the tradition of going from one home to another and singing Christmas Carols. They also have a Santa in tow. The traditional Christmas North Star made of giant paper lanterns are hung by all outside the house. In Southern India, Christians often put small oil burning clay lamps on the flat roofs of their homes to show their neighbours that Jesus is the light of the world. Most Christians depict the nativity scene in their houses with clay figures in it. After the midnight mass, it is the time for family and friends to get together and exchange gifts. Roast turkey or chicken served with an array of curries and sauces along with a 'traditional' rich fruit Christmas cake is the feast of this grand day.
