Holidays & Observances: Merry Christmas
First posted on WordPress here.
For all the posts in this Holidays & Observances series, go here.
Prologue: I have been meaning to write a series about Holidays and Observances that we (my family and friends) follow in both India (my birth country) and USA (my adopted country). This series is dedicated to those. On a side note, perhaps I might witness some of the celebrations from other countries as well that may get their way into this series. :)
The birth of Jesus Christ is celebrated annually on Dec 25th, although there are other tales that put his birth middle of summer. The day includes opening of gifts; meeting family and friends; attend Mass in respective churches; and singing or listening beautiful Christmas themed songs.
