The air fills with the glow of festive lights, the sound of carols, and the ringing of bells, heralding the arrival of Christmas. Celebrated every year on December 25, this day marks the birth of Jesus Christ and is observed with immense fervour and joy across India and the world. It is a time when communities come together in a shared spirit of love and generosity.
The Essence of Christmas Celebrations
Christmas is a festival that engages everyone, from children to adults. The celebrations involve exchanging gifts, decorating homes, and adorning Christmas trees with colourful ornaments and twinkling lights. Baking and sharing cakes is a beloved tradition, while many attend church services, participate in choir singing, and light candles to honour the birth of Lord Jesus Christ.
For the young ones, the festival is synonymous with the joy brought by Santa Claus, also popularly known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, or Saint Nick. This legendary figure is believed to deliver gifts, toys, and candies to children on Christmas Eve. While his existence remains a delightful mystery, children place their faith in him, a trust lovingly nurtured by parents as part of the festive magic.
Adapting Celebrations in the Time of Omicron
While Christmas is traditionally about grand family gatherings, parties, and social celebrations, the ongoing concern over COVID-19 and the Omicron variant has made safety a top priority this year. Health advisories encourage people to celebrate responsibly, perhaps opting for smaller, intimate gatherings and utilising digital means to connect with distant loved ones.
Despite these necessary precautions, the spirit of the season remains undimmed. Sharing warm wishes, inspirational quotes, and festive images has become a vital way to spread cheer while maintaining safety. Below is a collection of messages to help you convey your love and best wishes on this joyous occasion.
