But, not just Christians, the festival involves fun, frolic, and merrymaking among people of various other faiths and communities as well — from decorating Christmas trees to houses, observing rituals with friends and families, and gorging on grand feasts including turkey, pudding, pies and cake and other delicacies. Many have dressed up as Santa Claus and distributing Christmas goodies among children. People also exchange greeting cards to mark this day and the beginning of a new year.
