On the Eve of Christmas the shops are decorated and looks lovely.....red is the colour of the season....since felling of trees are discorouged and more and more people are getting aware about it , artificial christmas trees are a good option. Though a little expensive , its a one time buy. After the season is over , one can dismantle and keep it for the next year. Most importantly it looks good too. Most houses put them up and little children put up socks and wait for Santa Clause to make his rounds tonight . People go from house to house singing carols and tonight many would brave the cold and attend mid night mass and services in the different churches to celebrate the birth of Lord Jesus at the stroke of midnight. I remember a lovely song that i we use to sing very often in school......the chorus goes something like this........
Come on ring those bells, light the christmas tree
Jesus is the king , born for you and me
come on ring those bells, everybody say
Jesus we remember , its your birthday.
