New Delhi, Dec 24: As the Christmas festival is celebrated with pomp, gaiety and devotion across the nation and globally on the annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, we take a look at how the much-awaited festival of joy and happiness is celebrated in India's various states.
The Christmas celebrations are marked by singing carols, distributing cakes, chocolates, sweets, lighting candles, decorating beautiful Christmas trees and by receiving and giving gifts to the near and dear ones.
In many offices, the last week of December from Christmas till the New Year are celebrated by organising various kinds of contests like theme-based bay decorations, treasure hunt, pot luck competitions and secret santas, among many other exciting ideas.
