Merry Christmas to everyone/and a very warm
welcome/to our respected / Managing Director Mrs. Arul
Mary Josphine Madam, Mrs. Therasa Arulanandam/
Principal [Link] / Faculties /and my dear friends.
I am honoured /to be presenting the Speech of/Merry
Christmas. Christmas is our favourite festival /and I look
forward to this/ all the year long.
It is celebrated/ during winters /on 25th December every
[Link] name of Christmas /comes from the mass of
Jesus Christ. Christmas celebration/ is a symbol of
/peace and love.
This Christmas day /is very special /because it marks
/the beginning of an era /when Jesus was born. Mother
Mary was blessed with a baby/by the Holy Spirit /and
they named Jesus/as instructed by the God/through his
angel Gabriel.
The Gabriel Angel also said,”/ He will be great /and/ will
be called / the Son of the Most high”.
The Lord Jesus grew up /and helped a lot /for the people
around him/ and was regarded as the God.
On the eve of Christmas day,/that is on /24th December/
which is also called /the Christmas Eve. People
celebrating /offer service at midnight. The members of
the family /gather to prepare /many delicious dishes /for
their friends and relatives/and specially to the families/
who may not afford to celebrate. They can gather
together/and enjoy the feast.
This is a cultural /and religious festival for Christians
/and / it is being celebrated / all over the world. The
spirit of this day / is so universal /that everyone joins in/
on the celebration.
25th December also evokes / joy, hope and
togetherness.
Families and friends get together / to celebrate and
exchange /gifts and cards. In many circles,/ people
celebrate by giving gifts / as secret Santa /where the
recipient must guess/ who the secret Santa is.
Greeting cards for friends /and family members /are also
handmade/ to make it more special.
People greet each other / by wishing Merry Christmas.
The tradition also involves/ cake cutting /and decorating
the Christmas tree /with fairy lights, /electric bulbs /and
many coloured decorations. When families host this
celebration / they prepare / many delicious dishes/ and
enjoy a heavy meal / as I am sure /you all will on the
Christmas night.
The celebration also highlights / the importance of /hope
in our lives. And this is symbolized by Santa Claus /
where children believe and pray / for their wishes to
come true. And Santa /who is an old man / that loves
children /comes carrying those gifts /for the children.
Children too believe / their wishes to be fulfilled /and
are very enthusiastic / about the year ahead.
The traditions in ways / to celebrate this day / vary from
family to family. Some old traditions- are carried
forward / while others / try to renew it -going ahead.
Christmas carols /are sung by kids and adults / to
welcome this day. The celebration continues /to hold the
high spirits this day/ brings for 12 days after December
25th,/ this is called Christmas tide. This day also marks
the celebration /of the triumph of the good / in all of us.
It truly encourages us / to be kind and compassionate /
to everybody.
Merry Christmas to everyone / and now let’s begin the
celebrations.
Thank you.
