23rd December, 2021
The celebration commenced with the General Secretary, Upassana Sanghvi, introducing the event and sharing the importance of Christmas. Then the prayer service started which was full of sweet carols and sincere prayers for everyone. A video of the story of Christmas was also shown.
The calming prayer session was then followed by the entry of the host of the event, Bruchelle Pereira, who played the fun character of Mrs. Bolkuttey. She called upon Dhruti Sharma who was the Riddler along with Steffi Machado and Aloysia Pereira. All of them asked us mind-bending riddles throughout the event which were fun and at the same time made us reminisce about all the classic Christmas movies.
The celebration was a wonderful blend of melodious carols sung by our very own classmates, Christmas Folktales, and even a heartfelt poem. It also included a mouth-watering recipe video by Rohini Save who showed us how to make some Christmas chocolates.
There was a unique flavor added to the celebration when Simentha D'mello showed how we could make this Christmas a sustainable one by doing simple things like giving second-hand gifts, using newspapers to make gifts or wrapping them, and more. This was followed by the Christmas Scavenger Hunt which was conducted by Pearl Rozario which indeed could be called the best and most entertaining part of the celebration.
The celebration was concluded by a beautiful acronym video for the word Christmas which was a true layout of the festival itself. Then our Principal, Sr. Tanuja Waghmare spoke a few words of wisdom. The assembly ended with a vote of thanks by Kanishka Dsouza. The Christmas Day celebration was indeed a great way to gear ourselves for the upcoming holiday season!
