CHRISTMAS

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle all the way. Christmas is celebrated all over the world on 25th December.Its the birth day of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was not born in a palace or wealthy household. He was born in a manger.

Christmas is celebrated in great way. Every household get their homes ready to welcome baby Jesus.

You can see people decorating the Christmas tree and making cribs. People getting ready the sweets for Christmas namely Neureos, Bibinca, Dodol, dose etc.

Children go around singing carols and waiting for Christmas father to get them gifts. Live cribs with carol singing make rounds in villages. People from all religious communities in Goa take part in the festivities of Christmas. Programs are held at the different parishes in Goa during the Christmas week. The mid night Christmas mass draws huge crowds which includes goan, people from India, as well as many foreign tourists. After the mass there are cultural events and social gatherings with each person wishing every person they meet a "Merry Christmas"

The Crib should be a cherished part of the Christmas celebration in every family. It is not only completely religious in significance but also presents to the children in a beautiful way the central event which we commemorate on this great feast. Thus it assumes the character of a religious shrine in the houses of the faithful during Christmas season. Dignified decoration might enhance its attraction and solemnity.

In Goa and around the world Christmas was celebrated with lots of fun and joy
