Tis the season to be jolly
THE JOY AND TOGETHERNESS OF CHRISTMAS MAKES IT A SPECIAL FESTIVAL FOR EVERYONE,IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR FAITH
Celebrating the spirit of joyousness and sharing,has very little to do with religious inclinations.Christmas isnt just for the Christians;we all have a right to Santa Claus!
Deepika Das,a Christmas enthusiast,began celebrating the festival during her college days.Back then,she accompanied her friends to church for Christmas service.Even today,after several years,I celebrate Christmas by decorating my own tree,making marzipan and Christmas cake and distributing it amongst friends. Not a firm follower of any particular faith,Das smiles,All festivals are important.I celebrate them all with equal excitement and joy.
Karuna Sugla too dates her love for the festival back to her Christian school days,when she was exposed to the traditions and culture surrounding Christmas.A mom now,she celebrates Christmas along with her children.The festival embodies the spirit of sharing,giving and community feeling.These are values I wish to inculcate in my children.And Santa Claus is a hit with the kids! Sugla,a Hindu by faith,revels in the vibrancy of the festival and the spirit of togetherness and warmth during the winter by singing along to a carol CD,decorating a tree,hanging stockings and enjoying her Catholic neighbourhood activities.
Ditto Prachi Shah.Shah,though not a Catholic,is a believer in Christ and hence,celebrates Christmas.Her Christmas routine includes going to church,followed by a small gathering with her friends.I love Christmas.Theres a pleasant environment all around and lots of sweets and chocolates, she grins.
Its the season to be jolly and you definitely dont have to be a Christian to be happy,do you
