Presents are placed under the Christmas tree.                                                       🎄🎄🎄                          

The church is also decorated for the special event. Churches prepare for Christmas by organizing Carol Services . Most families start by going to church where performances and songs are done.


Then later, they join their families to exchange gifts and celebrate with food and music. Homemade traditional plum cakes, cupcakes and muffins are the special treats on Christmas.

Kids are showered with lots of presents and new dresses. They also get to meet the 'Santa Claus , dressed in a fluffy red and white costume, who greets them with hugs and gifts. Happiness during Christmas is like no other.
