Last week I wrote about Christmas Crafts. Hope the ideas I shared got you started on making your own crafts for this season. I made a few Christmas balls using dried sea urchins and Santa stockings using red paper and cotton wool.I would love to hear what you made. Do send me your ideas so we can learn from each other.

Now as you count the days till Christmas break, take a look at how Indians celebrate the birth of Christ. Strictly speaking Christmas is not an Indian Festival. However over the decades and with the growth of the Indian Christian population, Christ’s birth is widely celebrated throughout India. Learn more about Desi Christmas Traditions here.
