The houses will be decorated with Christmas trees and gifts will be placed below the tree which will be exchanged during the evening. The main door of the house will be adorned with ribbons, garlands and Christmas holly which helps to keep the evil out. People prepare mouth-watering dishes, including plum cakes, Roast Chicken, Stew, Biryani, Candy canes, Vindaloo, etc.
