 Goa Christmas Celebration - Christmas
festival that marks the birth of Lord Jesus on the mist clad
day of 25th December every year. During Christmas Goa becomes
all the more vibrant and lively. The market places are all
embroidered with tinsel and buntings and people camouflaged
as Santa stalk customers, particularly children with gifts
in the big cities. Decorated and glittering Christmas trees
are all over the place in Goa. Christmas in Goa is full of
fun and frolic.
For the pious, the celebrations begin on Christmas Eve. Carols
are sung and many churches organize the midnight Mass. The
service on Christmas Day is attended by Christians dressed
in new clothes. After the morning congregation is over, people
gather in their homes for the family get-togethers.
By Christmas Eve, Goa overflows with far flung members of
families returning home and visitors keen to experience the
thrills of the season from Christmas carols and long-drawn
midnight masses.
It is indeed an inspiring sight and one should not miss the
frolic of wandering on Goa's streets. Houses are decorated
with the glowing star and little Christmas trees decorated
with sparkling stars, cotton or snow flakes, lights, candy
and cakes. These small clay lamps are placed on the edges
of flat roofs and on the tops of walls. Gifts are exchanged
with friends and family, and diet charts are replaced with
mouth-watering goodies that sum up the ceremony.
Goa Christmas Celebration is also associated with holy prayers, grand
music, majestic food and lovely vibrant environment. It is
the time for ultimate celebration.
