Christmas is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, though the exact date of birth is still unknown. It is worldwide celebrated not just by Christians but by an ever increasing population of non-Christians as well. Though the manner in which it is celebrated across the world varies as per various traditions and culture. The beauty of living in any secular country lies in enjoying all festivals alike. India is a great example to all non-secular countries that loving and respecting all religions bring inner peace and show the path of righteousness and happiness.
The usual celebration includes church service, gift giving, family and other social gatherings, symbolic decorating, and secular processions or parades featuring Jesus Christ. According to a popular tradition, people wear red clothes and pose as Santa Claus to distribute sweets, gifts and shower blessings, especially to children.
