Every festive event in Hyderabad to whichever religion it may belong
is celebrated in a very happy and grand way. This is visible from home, street,
shop, pandal, Temple and Church decorations and the happiness you see on the
faces of people and the camaraderie among them.
And this is Christmas time and it is no exception. Christmas
celebrations always seem to be getting bigger and better in Hyderabad and
Secunderabad, from parties in holiday resorts and grand Christmas lunches and
dinners in restaurants. Shopping for Christmas stars, tree toppings, other
decorations, gifts and new dresses is in full swing, as can be seen in the two
markets adjoining our house, General Bazaar and MG Road. Each and every bakery
in Twin Cities, which are in thousands have already begun selling Plum Cakes
and other traditional items like Christmas pudding, cookies and marzipan.
Christmas celebrations have started here from the beginning of this
month!
What are now awaited are; Christmas Eve, for Christmas Father / Santa
Claus to arrive and gift children and the serene and solemn midnight services
conducted by various Churches in the Twin Cities. And very close to our house
in Secunderabad are many Churches where Christmas is celebrated in a very grand
way, which is a feast to the eyes and soul. These are St. Mary’s Church, St. John’s
Church, All Saints Church and Wesley Church.
