India serves as a home to all religions and Christmas is one of the most pompous celebrations. However, it is not a national holiday but a public holiday observed majorly by Christians in India. The day commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that God came into the world in the form of man to atone for the sins of humanity, rather than knowing Jesus' exact birth date, which is considered to be the primary purpose of celebrating Christmas.
Christmas is celebrated with a mix of pre-Christian, Christian and secular influences. Some of the popular customs related to Christmas include gift exchange, advent wreaths, carol singing, special church service, decorating the home and Christmas trees, and enjoying special meals with friends and families.
Happy Christmas!!
