Can I get a thing where Agni spends the holidays with his fem s/o? Maybe they meet her family?
(does the fact that it's feb stop me from writing this...No, it does not, because I was basically absent and into a horrible situation!!!!)
Tumblr media
Agni and S/O spend the holidays!
Tumblr media
✧ If there is one thing I wish to say as an Indian like him, is that we don't popularly used to celebrate Christmas as it isn't of our main religions' or Hindus' or Muslims'.
✧ Agni also being an Indian, probably didn't celebrate Christmas because many Indians don't follow Christianity, but they follow Hinduism or Islam, and since Christmas isn't a thing for Hindus or Muslims, but other than that there are other festivals too! Like the Diwali if it occurs in December, Ekadashi where Gods wake up and most marriages are recommended to be celebrated and karwachauth where the bond of a husband and wife is celebrated!
✧ Although, he doesn't celebrate Christmas, he will be willing to celebrate it with you, if you'd explain the Christmas traditions to him otherwise he'll ask Sebastian about it...
✧ He would love to bake cookies with you! He may not know, but he secretly has been practicing with Sebastian on how to make perfect Christmas flavoring cookies!!! He made a cranberry flavored one too!!!
✧ India has a huge variety of clothing material, so getting some good high quality material for Christmas sweaters is quite nice, though they won't have any designs though....But it's okay, cause he's happy!!!!
✧ He would love to play in snow, spending hours to create beautiful letters, messages, drawings and make things with it like castles and just try to make you smile!!!
✧ He will probably make you Indian sweets and if you ask him hard enough, he will put his cooking insecurities behind and make you some Victorian desserts as well!
✧ He would help you pick a Christmas tree and help you decorate it, and then you both end up buying two tiny ones and have a competition to see how will decorate their tree the best and as always Agni won, even Sebastian lost in front of him.....
✧ He will probably take you around the Indian city, bringing you chai and different treats to eat as you both walk around and spend time with each-other and later on you both end up dancing in a newly wedded couples dance show-room....He looked handsome in the lighting.....
✧ Soma would also love to spend Christmas with you and you both being menaces, with you teaching him Christmas rituals and all that and you both making a mess which is gonna give Agni a headache while he tries to clean the shit up....
✧ You teaching Soma how to sing Christmas carols and he tries his best, but he barely know how to pronounce the words correctly and when he does, he forgets the words, but it's okay cause it gets a laugh out of you and it makes Agni smile seeing you happy and laughing!

This Christmas Party Was So Fun That Now I’m a Communist, by Brennan Lee Mulligan
Highlights:
[I] thought to myself, “This is the most fun I’ve ever seen anyone have. ... This is… so great. This is… completely fucked.”
This party cannot be allowed to happen again. It was too much fun! No human being can justify having that much fun. There is an indirect but tangible connection between my family’s inability to purchase health insurance, and the quality of the hors d’oeuvres at this party. The world that makes my childhood friends go on large, unnecessary detours to get a shot at their dreams is the same world that heaps largely unappreciated splendors on these party-goers. It’s not an intuitive conclusion to draw, but when you think about it, the reason this chocolate truffle tastes so good is that my brother and I went to a state school. The reason this champagne is on the house is that the house is largely on Africa, South America and rural India.
This party is so much goddamned fun and it has to be stopped.
I wondered if I had been too harsh. Perhaps there was some kind of justice to all of this that I, as the malnourished, hayseed-child of the working poor, could not fully comprehend.
In that moment, I knew that I would never again experience a party this fun. Because the next time I was at a party this fun, I’d be burning it to the ground, holding high the banner of the revolution.
--- 
If you had guessed there would be a fortuneteller at this party, you would have been dead wrong. Because there were two fortunetellers at this party.
This party was so insane, extravagant and incredible that the hosts hired not one, but two separate soothsayers. The services of two women capable of piercing space and time with their minds were required for this shindig. Next to one of the three fully-stocked open bars, there was a woman wearing a bird on her head who was reading palms. And downstairs, in a hallway filled with ancient Buddhist art recovered during the Chinese invasion of Tibet, there was a Romani woman giving Tarot card readings. I mean, take your pick, really. Do you prefer the occult prognostications of cartomancy, or the intimate and personal revelations of the mysteries of your own goddamned hand? Because this party had both.
This party was so far off the fucking chain that you could have one of two magic women tell you what was going to happen to you in your future. And if you didn’t like what she said, you could get a second opinion, and never be more than thirty feet away from a fondue pot.
There was also a magician in a tuxedo walking around doing sleight of hand tricks. So to reiterate: Three different wizards were working at this party.
This party was the most fun anyone has ever had. And something needs to be done about it.
I arrived at the party as they were still setting up. The penthouse, located a few blocks from the eastern edge of Central Park, was in a word "palatial." It felt like I had stepped out of the gilded, art deco elevator into the distant palace of some Caliph at the height of the Ottoman Empire, were it not, I should add, for the many Christmas decorations being put up by an army of party planners. Pine garlands the length of city buses, with the circumference of an elephant’s leg, wrapped around marble banisters on staircases that ascended to impossible balconies overlooking Park Avenue. Shelves lined with ancient and powerful scotches, first edition books beyond reading, paintings and sculptures by artists so French that, were I to whisper their names, I would first need to buy a Rosetta Stone app. And all of this was being slathered in artisanal glass ornaments, gilded candles, sprigs of holly and every other thing that turns the darkest part of the year into the hap-happiest season of all. Guys, this party made the trailer for The Great Gatsby look like the strip mall parking lot where two divorced parents meet to exchange their children.
In the scraps and shreds of memory that come to me from that wild night of celebration, I remember certain landmarks. As guests exited an elevator that opened directly into the foyer of the apartment, they were greeted by butlers holding glasses of bellinis, champagne and sparkling water. They walked to a floor of waitered tables and a small dance floor, while being serenaded by a rotating cast of singers and pianists. These areas were overlooked by balconies with performers and entertainers of various stripes and shades, and from these balconies led hallways that arrived at various catered dining rooms and seating areas, all cozy, lovely and intimate, all just the right size to see that, yes, other people were having fun, but not too many other people were having too much fun too close by. And throughout it all, guests were bombarded with trays of lobster, caviar and truffle oil brioche canapés.
This party was like if the Dalai Lama and Elrond Half-Elven owned a castle together, and had decided to throw a birthday party for Santa Claus. More money than I have yet made in my life was spent on this party. It was immediately the most fun I’ve ever had, and within minutes, I was deeply unsettled.
As the immaculately dressed and bejeweled guests wended their way to banquet tables of delicious food and various dance floors, they were lit from not a single actual light bulb. I don’t know when I realized it, but aside from candlelight and the glow of the city through the windows, there was not a single visible source of light in the entire party. “Why do the rich find light bulbs so distasteful?” I thought. Every light had been tucked, hidden or sequestered from view, ensconced in little cubbies or stowed underneath cabinets, so that a warm glow filled everything, and you couldn’t tell how or from where. It became almost maddening as soon as I recognized it. Where is all this light coming from? Is this why I’m poor? Too much direct light?
While I was trying to piece this together, the music had once again changed, and I peered from the balcony where I was standing, to see the hired singer and pianist walk from the small raised stage with its rented Steinway through the doors into a literal servants’ quarters, like in Downton-motherfucking-Abbey. AND THERE WAS A PARTY IN THERE! A separate party for people working at the first party! The performers, jugglers, soothsayers and probably sex-workers that had been hired by the hosts had a separate catering group attending solely to their needs. This party was so dope, it was spawning sub-parties to bolster the spirits of workers for what I’m now calling “The Motherparty.”
I ducked into the servants’ party to discover that one of the singers had a day-job at the New York Metropolitan Opera. This Christmas party was so fucking great, that one of the 16 people they hired to sing in one of the rooms is a professional Opera singer at the Met.
I began to notice how many people were working at this party. There were the many performers and entertainers, and a fleet of photographers, separate from the gentlemen running the rented photo booth, which swarmed all night with beautiful young women immortalizing their splendor. One such woman was photographed while instagramming herself in front of the photo booth, which is maybe how wormholes are created. There were business staff, house staff, building staff, the host’s personal and executive assistants, custodians, and caterers, all of whom disappeared into grey hallways, designed to be ugly but also kind of invisible, a place where the help disappeared to. When you’re rich, you can afford to have sections of your home into which you never go.
As I watched the quick, nervous movements of the help, I began to look at who was actually attending the party. I ate my free lobster and furrowed my brow. These people probably didn’t even call their free lobster “free lobster.” They probably just called it “lobster.”
I watched the beautiful children of the rich mingle and converse. Young, gay men so fabulous that I couldn’t even tell you the most basic elemental details of what they were wearing. Possibly a fabric? Maybe not. It could have been a ceramic. I just don’t have the facts. Some young Ivy League dudes, pupating senators and ambassadors. The young women were gorgeously dressed, adorned with jewels, and so beautiful that they seemed photo-shopped in person. It would be easy to write off these airbrushed debutants as vapid, but they weren’t. They all had sharp, predatory eyes and laughed quickly and with fierce intelligence. They were ubermensches, as much the daughters of their bloodthirsty, corporate fathers as their supermodel mothers. These stunning women would spend the rest of their ball-gowned lives handing out their fathers’ likely ill-gotten fortunes to worthy charities, and going to parties just like this one.
From a distance, it was hard to tell the mothers and the daughters apart. Rich women don’t age, they just desiccate. Their jewelry, hair, gowns, even their posture and attitude all stay the same as their elegant, somewhat more humid daughters. A rich young woman and a rich old woman, standing next to each other, kind of look like a snake having perfectly shed its skin.
The old men were by far the most diverse bunch. Old billionaires wear whatever the fuck they want. One man wore a maroon, velvet, three-piece suit and a paisley cravat, and he must have been sweating in it, but I couldn’t tell because he had doused himself in a cologne that I’m going to call “A Million, Billion Different Kinds Of Fruit, by Calvin Klein.” There were two shaven-headed men of Caucasian descent, wearing black hakama robes and some kind of pendants. They had white socks and sandals, and from the way people were bowing to them, I’m guessing they were some kind of religious officials, but I can’t be quite sure. Whatever faith they practiced, it wasn’t Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Baha’i, Taoism, Shinto, Confucianism, Voodoo, Wicca or the Dreamtime Faith of the Aboriginal Shamans. If I had to guess, I would say they were either members of the Illuminati, or we are living in the Matrix and they are priests from the remaining human city in the real, outer world.
I don’t know what religion they were from. Do we get why that’s scary? Aside from the fact that a vast chunk of my education centered on world religions and mythology, religions really want you to know about them. That’s their whole business model. They tell you why things are the way they are and then you give them money. So the fact that there’s a religion that I’m too poor to know about is deeply troubling.
These rich old billionaires were the kindest, sweetest old gents. In conversations I overheard more than once, a man worth more than my entire extended family (which is Irish and therefore vast and mighty) talked about another man at the party as “just being the sweetest soul,” or referred to a cupcake at a certain café as “sinfully seductive.” And I realized, these men may have been cutthroat sharks before, or they may have inherited their fortunes, but none of that matters now. They won. They won life. They are lions that, having killed enough gladiators, are now left gloriously alive to become old and toothless. The host of the party had an entire wall covered in plaques and trophies. I read most of them, and still couldn’t tell you what he did for a living. Because whatever he had done, he certainly didn’t need to do it anymore. His accomplishments referenced his humanitarianism, his civic heroism and his contributions to culture and civilization. So whether or not this man had worked at Bain Capital gutting companies in the American Heartland didn’t matter, because he had rescued a bunch of Tibetan art and now he was kissing other billionaires on both cheeks and saying, “Tom, I’m in love with you!” because who gives a fuck, I’m rich!
I watched these crazy old holiday wizards and their jeweled scarab wives, their Oxford sons and Cambridge daughters, and thought to myself, “This is the most fun I’ve ever seen anyone have. Louis the XVI would've shit a brick if he'd ever thrown a party this good. This is… so great. This is… completely fucked.”
I began to notice that people were looking at me funny. For a moment I became scared that they realized I was poor. Perhaps I had used the wrong fork, or a moth had flown in lazy spirals out of my wallet, or my toes had popped out of the holes in my shoes. But then I realized it was my expression that was drawing looks. I looked flabbergasted and astounded. And they didn’t.
That’s when I realized it. These motherfuckers weren’t going to the best party of their lives. They weren’t even necessarily going to the best party of their week. Who knows? Maybe one of these plutocrats was sneering at the lack of a third fortuneteller. “No augur divining mysteries from the movement of birds? No oracle breathing poison and screaming prophesies? You call this a Christmas Party!”
Well fuck that!
This party cannot be allowed to happen again. It was too much fun! No human being can justify having that much fun. There is an indirect but tangible connection between my family’s inability to purchase health insurance, and the quality of the hors d’oeuvres at this party. The world that makes my childhood friends go on large, unnecessary detours to get a shot at their dreams is the same world that heaps largely unappreciated splendors on these party-goers. It’s not an intuitive conclusion to draw, but when you think about it, the reason this chocolate truffle tastes so good is that my brother and I went to a state school. The reason this champagne is on the house is that the house is largely on Africa, South America and rural India.
This party is so much goddamned fun and it has to be stopped.
The last singer finished a tear-jerking rendition of Ave Maria, and the DJ came out. A man who looked like a young, handsome Santa Claus wheeled out his holly-studded turntable and then killed it. Every song he played was fucking perfect. Cecilia. Signed, Sealed, Delivered. Rescue Me. This goddamned DJ could do no wrong. And the patricians began to dance.
And oh how they danced. I used to think that only we poor, starving bohemians could truly dance with the hedonism and reckless abandon of our pagan ancestors. I was WRONG, guys. Starving artists don’t dance with reckless abandon. We dance like we’re trying to forget that the rent is past due. We dance to sweat off that last box of Annie’s Mac & Cheese. We dance to trick the endorphins into healing our tired, unkempt bodies.
The rich, however, dance as if possessed by Pan himself. The young and old alike gyrated, wiggled and bounced like they had not a care in the world. Sorry, let me rephrase that. The young and old alike gyrated, wiggled and bounced BECAUSE they had not a care in the world. And it was magical. Every face beamed with glorious jubilation. I saw five separate people fall in love that night, and I know it’s going to work out, because of just how good that party was. It was the most magical night I have ever witnessed, and so help me God, I will toil unyieldingly to ensure it never happens again.
For a brief moment I surveyed the upper balcony. The host and his wife smiled gaily, singing along and dancing. They looked so serene. So happy. And I saw the host turn, and start handing out tip money to the staff. $50 bills flew from his fingers into the waiting hands of the army of party workers. And they thanked him for his kindness. And he was kind. He was a kind man, this white-suited oligarch. In that moment, I wondered if I had been too harsh. Perhaps there was some kind of justice to all of this that I, as the malnourished, hayseed-child of the working poor, could not fully comprehend.
The caterers left the hall, and the DJ stopped.
That’s when I noticed that while the dance party had been happening, a Pinkberry and a Wafels & Dinges had both opened inside the penthouse.
Let me say that again.
A Pinkberry and a Wafels & Dinges both had their grand openings during and inside this party. Two, miniature, satellite restaurants with mobile service stations, serving free food, staffed by uniformed employees, with their full assortment of products, had sprouted up within the span of ten minutes. For every fortuneteller in this party, there was a restaurant in this party. And the choir sang. And the people ate. And the champagne flowed. And the two fortunetellers ordered extra nutella on their wafels & dinges. And the velvet suit fruit man hugged a young gay boy wearing a scarf with the whole Bhagavad Gita written on it and whispered, “We are never, ever going to die.”
In that moment, I knew that I would never again experience a party this fun. Because the next time I was at a party this fun, I’d be burning it to the ground, holding high the banner of the revolution.
Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Fight the Power.

[ad_1] Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 24 (ANI): On the eve of Christmas, people in Varanasi flocked to the markets for Christmas shopping. Nitin Pawar, a resident who was shopping for Christmas items, shared his enthusiasm saying, "Everyone is very excited about Christmas, which is on December 25. Preparations have already begun, and the entire colony is looking forward to the celebrations." Another local shopper from the area told ANI, "We are busy preparing for December 25 to celebrate Christmas. We're currently shopping for items like a Christmas tree and Santa decorations. We plan to decorate our colony, order cakes, and celebrate properly in the evening." Rajesh, a local shop owner, told ANI, "People are coming in large numbers to buy Christmas trees, children's clothes, socks, and electronics related to the celebration." On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended Christmas celebrations hosted by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) at its headquarters in the national capital.

Shopping in Kashmir: What to Buy and Where
Tumblr media
Nestled in the northernmost region of India, Kashmir is known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Equally captivating is its vibrant shopping scene, where centuries-old traditions blend seamlessly with local artistry. Whether it’s the luxurious Kashmiri shawls, the intricate beauty of handcrafted jewelry, or the delicate charm of buying Pashmina, shopping in Kashmir is an experience that goes beyond just purchases—it’s a journey into the region’s soul.
1. Kashmiri Shawls: Timeless Elegance
No trip to Kashmir is complete without investing in a Kashmiri shawl. These exquisite pieces are celebrated worldwide for their craftsmanship, fine detailing, and luxurious feel.
Types of Kashmiri Shawls:
Pashmina Shawls: Made from the finest wool derived from Pashmina goats, these shawls are ultra-soft, lightweight, and warm. Authentic buying Pashmina is a prized achievement for many shoppers.
Shahtoosh Shawls: Known as the "king of shawls," these are crafted from the wool of the Tibetan antelope and are incredibly light yet warm. However, their trade is restricted due to conservation efforts.
Woolen Shawls: Affordable yet elegant, these shawls often feature intricate Kashmiri embroidery.
Where to Buy Kashmiri Shawls:
Srinagar: Visit the traditional shops in Lal Chowk or the handicraft emporiums near Dal Lake.
Polo View Market: Renowned for its authentic Pashmina shawls.
Cottage Industries Exposition: A reliable spot for genuine handmade shawls.
Pro Tip: Always ask for a certification of authenticity when purchasing Pashmina shawls to avoid imitations.
2. Carpets and Rugs: Artistic Floor Décor
Kashmiri carpets and rugs are a symbol of luxury and sophistication. Hand-knotted using silk or wool, these masterpieces are known for their durability and detailed patterns.

4. Saffron: The Golden Spice
Tumblr media
Kashmir is one of the few places in the world where saffron is cultivated. This aromatic and vibrant spice is a must-buy for culinary enthusiasts and makes for a precious gift.
What to Look For:
Deep red threads with a strong aroma.
Avoid powdered saffron, as it is more prone to adulteration.
Where to Buy Saffron in Kashmir:
Pampore: Known as the saffron capital of India.
Lal Chowk Market, Srinagar: Offers a variety of grades.
Government Emporiums: Reliable for pure and unadulterated saffron.
Pro Tip: Store saffron in an airtight container away from sunlight to preserve its quality.

Kashmir’s fertile soil produces some of the finest dry fruits, especially walnuts. These nutrient-rich treats are perfect for snacking or gifting.

8. Tips for Shopping in Kashmir
Tumblr media
Bargain Wisely: Negotiating is common, especially in local markets.
Check for Authenticity: For items like Pashmina shawls, saffron, and carpets, ensure you’re buying genuine products.
Carry Cash: Many small shops don’t accept credit cards.
Support Local Artisans: Purchasing directly from workshops or government emporiums helps sustain traditional crafts.
Pack Smart: Leave room in your luggage for your purchases.

Renting a Christmas Tree is the Eco Friendly choice this Christmas
Christmas is the festive time we all look forward to when the winter starts setting in our country India. In Bangalore also it becomes a bit cooler than before, the festivities in the air. It is time to decorate the Christmas tree and celebrate around it. The Christmas tree is the icon we all love to decorate; it also shows our innermost emotions of happiness. As we decorate it, we buy lot of stuff and the tree itself to start with.
Tumblr media
But after Christmas we have to dispose it and somewhere deep inside we understand that it isn't eco friendly. Also some time due to time constraints we are not able to fully justify its decor and feel something is missing. At Dottedi, we have come up with a novel idea for you - Rent your Christmas tree, fully beautified and give us back after Christmas so it becomes eco friendly guilt free for you.
Renting a Christmas Tree: The Eco-Friendly Choice This Christmas
With the festive season upon us, the excitement of decorating a Christmas tree fills the air. The joy of hanging ornaments, wrapping glitters, and setting the star atop the tree is unmatched. Yet, as we immerse ourselves in this celebration, it's essential to consider the environmental impact of our choices. At Dottedi, we believe in enjoying a vibrant, joyous Christmas while respecting our planet. So we're excited to offer an eco-friendly alternative: renting a Christmas tree in Bangalore.
Why Choose a Christmas Tree for Rent in Bangalore?
Opting for a rental Christmas tree has many advantages, Ecofriendly as well as economical. In Bangalore, choosing a rental tree means you’re participating in reducing waste and nurturing sustainability.
Minimize Waste, Maximize Joy - Renting a tree ensures that you’re not contributing to the piles of waste generated when real trees are disposed after the holiday season. By renting, you are choosing a tree that can be reused year after year, reducing your carbon footprint.
Support Sustainable Practices - When you rent a Christmas tree, you support reuse and recycling. These trees are cared for and returned to serve, making them a part of a healthy environmental initiative.
A Hassle-Free Holiday Solution
Life is busy, and during the festive season, this intensifies. The Dottedi offers a solution that saves time without compromising on the magic of Christmas.
Convenience and Beauty Combined - Our rental trees come decorated in a style that captures the essence of Christmas. So you can focus on spending quality time with your loved ones. There's no need to spend hours, our trees are ready to shine in your home.
Customizable to Your Style - Even though each tree is pre-decorated, we offer options to ensure your tree aligns with your personal aesthetic. It's your tree, your style, minus the stress.
Guilt-Free Celebrations
The Dottedi provides not just products, but experiences that resonate with eco-conscious users. Renting a Christmas tree means celebrating without the guilt of contributing to environmental waste.
Join the Green Revolution - Participating in tree rentals allows you to play a part in the movement of sustainable celebrations. It's a simple yet impactful way to the spirit of giving back to the Earth.
Educate and Inspire Others - Your choice can inspire friends and family to make similar sustainable decisions. By example, you encourage a circle of environment-friendly practices that extend beyond the holiday season.
How to Rent Your Eco-Friendly Christmas Tree -
Renting a Christmas tree from The Dottedi is easy and straightforward. Our website simplifies the process so you can book your tree with just a few clicks. Browse our collection, select the tree that brings warmth to your home, and we'll handle the rest.

Also some time due to time constraints we are not able to fully justify its decor and feel something is missing. At Dottedi, we have come up with a novel idea for you - Rent your Christmas tree, fully beautified and give us back after Christmas so it becomes eco friendly guilt free for you.
Renting a Christmas Tree: The Eco-Friendly Choice This Christmas
With the festive season upon us, the excitement of decorating a Christmas tree fills the air. The joy of hanging ornaments, wrapping glitters, and setting the star atop the tree is unmatched. Yet, as we immerse ourselves in this celebration, it's essential to consider the environmental impact of our choices. At Dottedi, we believe in enjoying a vibrant, joyous Christmas while respecting our planet. So we're excited to offer an eco-friendly alternative: renting a Christmas tree in Bangalore.
Why Choose a Christmas Tree for Rent in Bangalore?

[ad_1] Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 24 (ANI): On the eve of Christmas, people in Varanasi flocked to the markets for Christmas shopping. Nitin Pawar, a resident who was shopping for Christmas items, shared his enthusiasm saying, "Everyone is very excited about Christmas, which is on December 25. Preparations have already begun, and the entire colony is looking forward to the celebrations." Another local shopper from the area told ANI, "We are busy preparing for December 25 to celebrate Christmas. We're currently shopping for items like a Christmas tree and Santa decorations. We plan to decorate our colony, order cakes, and celebrate properly in the evening." Rajesh, a local shop owner, told ANI, "People are coming in large numbers to buy Christmas trees, children's clothes, socks, and electronics related to the celebration." On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended Christmas celebrations hosted by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) at its headquarters in the national capital. This is the first time a Prime Minister has attended such a program at the Headquarters of the Catholic Church in India. The Prime Minister also interacted with key leaders from the Christian community, including Cardinals, Bishops and prominent leaders of the Church. Wishing Merry Christmas to the citizens of the country and the Christian community worldwide, the Prime Minister remarked a few days ago that he had attended a Christmas celebration at Union Minister George Kurian's residence and today, he is honoured to join the event organised by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI). Meanwhile, ITC Maurya in New Delhi has created a Christmas tree using coconut shells, symbolising ecology. Christmas is an annual festival celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, is observed by billions of people worldwide on December 25 as both a religious and cultural event. While many countries observe Christmas as a holiday, not all do. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, many homes are adorned with Christmas trees and various ornaments, and some workplaces also host Christmas parties before December 25. (ANI) [ad_2] Source link
