Christmas reminds us of the importance of giving and sharing with family and friends. On 24th December 2021, the Christmas celebration began with great enthusiasm. The event was well attended by the principal ma’am, Professors, enthusiastic students and faculty members by wearing beautiful dresses. One could easily notice the excitement of Christmas in the students eyes. The programme was hosted by the B.Ed. students, Anoop Pandey , Anushree Kamble. Prayer can elicit feelings of gratitude, compassion, forgiveness, and hope, all of which are associated with healing and wellness. So the celebration started with the prayer by the HMPS School group, which created a joyous and peaceful atmosphere. The introduction to the Christmas celebration began with a paper reading, by Sonia Bharko which explained about the Christmas is a festival full of culture and tradition. The festival entails a lot of preparations. Preparations for Christmas involve a lot of things including decoration, food items and gifts for family members and friends.

Then I.J. Patel High School Group performed skit on Birth of Jesus Christ! The birth of Jesus hold particularly special meaning for us in that because Jesus overcome, so can we. He was able to live and endure this world in human form, teach and love others. .After skit performance a carol (we wish you a merry Christmas), was melodiously sung by the Mary Immaculate School Group. The word carol actually means dance or a song of praise and joy. We sing Christmas Carol’s because they are way to telling the narrative story of the Nativity and the birth of Jesus Christ. Moving ahead with the programme, the Holy Cross School Group performed a skit on papa panovs special Christmas! In this story Papa Panovs is a lonely shoemaker who’s only wish is to worship the Christ child and give him the finest pair of shoes he’s ever made. On Christmas Eve he has a dream that he hears the voice of God telling him to look out for Jesus during the following day. The story focuses on his reaction to the people that he meets on Christmas day. The story denotes the actual spirit of chirstmas that is giving without thinking. It was followed by a video presentation from sacred heart school, lifting the fun level by singing (Joy of the world and Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer.) Everyone sang along and enjoyed. Now it was time for the actual fun time of the day began with Bombay Cambridge school group making everyone participate us in a fun round of games everyone played bingo and as a family everyone was a winner. And they explained what was the essential of this game and why was it played. Like the angles in the image rejoiced the baby’s birth, and cookies denotes to be surrounded by family on such occasions. After the fun games round we had Mary Immaculate school group guiding us through the true meaning of Christmas. The tree that stays green through year indicates the joy and happiness that should last all years long.

Then we had the HMPS group taking us through a trip around India letting us explore the different traditions of Christmas celebration throughout India. Trip to Kerala, Shillong, Bengaluru and even the most famous metropolitan city Mumbai it was a fun adventure to be at. Another last we had special visit from Santa Claus wishing us all the good spirit of Christmas and hoping for a joyful New Year. In the end our Principal Dr. Judy Grace Andrews gave a thoughtful acknowledgement about the programme wishing us all the students and faculty merry Christmas and a happy new year.
