Though India is not a Christian dominated land, even then the Christmas is celebrated throughout India with same zeal and enthusiasm. The festivity during Christmas season highlights the distinct facets of Indian society and wide culture. Christmas is celebrated organizing a holy mass at midnight of 24th December. The mass ends early morning on Christmas day. The whole family and friends get together, and the Santa Claus and gifts are the top priority.

It is during the time of Christmas, in which the birth of Jesus Christ is celebrated. The trees are decorated and taken into homes. These trees represent the life of Jesus Christ and how He still lives on today. Some Christians celebrate by lighting their houses with paper lanterns and decorating their Christmas trees, which they call "Trees of Light," with paper chains, paper flowers, and paper lanterns.

Every house hangs a Christmas star regardless of their religion, all throughout the season. It is a very holy time. Christmas is celebrated mainly in coastal areas like Goa, Kerala and other south western areas.
