Christmas & New Year

Christmas and New Year days are specially celebrated in metropolitan cities of Calcutta, Delhi, Bombay and Madras where Christians as well as non-Christians celebrate it on quite a grand scale. Dances, songs, Christmas trees, Santa Claus moving through the streets with his glittering colorful robes, glowing long white beard and shaking hand with children in the streets form the main attraction of this festival. New year is looked upon as a very auspicious day for starting of a new life.

Specialties of the day: Cakes, Cookies, Pastries, Chocolates, and Pudding.
