Christmas... as you all know...is the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ.According to the Christian Beliefs, Jesus is the Son of GOD. God sent his only Son to the World..so as to save and redeem Us. Mother Mary gave birth to Jesus in a manger(stable) in Bethlehem...as nobody gave them (Joseph n Mary) a room in their Inn. An Angel appeared to some shepherds and told them that THE KING HAS BORN. Hearing this good news...the shepherds went quickly to the manger.The three kings from the East also got this good news. They went led by a Star...to the manger..The Three Kings offered Three gifts respectively : gold,frankincense and myrrh

So that was a brief description about Christmas

Now lemme tell u...how I celebrate Christmas usually:

I keep the fast for 25 days...I abstain from having non veg items๐Ÿ˜Š

On December 1st I make a crib - a replica of the Manger in Bethlehem
Then I decorate a Christmas tree, wid mercury balls, lights,bells etc
We also put up a star in our homes (a Symbol of the Star which guided the 3 kings to the Manger)





Christmas time hain..SO obviously its Carols' Time ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Then on 24th , Christmas Eve...we go for Midnight Mass.. Well in my church..the Service starts at 7pm..We are Syrian Catholics...and our Service is veryyy long. Before the Mass starts...we have a Carol Competition..and after that we keep a Gift Giving Ceremony. Till last year My team having been Winning the Carol Competition ๐Ÿ˜Š
Then after the Mass, we cut a Plum Cake ...and then we have Cake n Wine at Church. Then we go home and break our fast

4. My favorite Chicken Roast
5. Our Kerala Dish- Appam n Chicken Stew

Merry Christmas to all ๐Ÿ˜ƒ lovely thread Sonia.

I like this party...mere pasand ka sab kuch hai๐Ÿ˜‰...love Appams...just had 'egg Appam' last night...they basically break an egg over the Appam (like in egg roles) was delicious with Chettinad chicken *Slurp* ๐Ÿ˜†

coming to the topic...for me I think I have celebrated Christmas more as a kid than any other festivals. Have very fond memories. love all the Carols but Rudolph the red nose Reindeer has to be my fav ๐Ÿ˜ƒ...and yeah Jingle bells too๐Ÿ˜ƒ...Did a inter school play in 8/9th std n I was one of the Kings ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜† should have a pic somewhere ๐Ÿ˜† and then the midnight Mass n feast with the Nuns, that was considered being privileged in school as we were boarders n mixed with the high n mighty ๐Ÿ˜‰ have many more memories...Christmas is fun in Delhi too...
