Love & laughter

Christmas is a time of joy and warmth; it means being around with family and celebrating the holy festival. It is not only the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, but also the spirit of giving and affection. I will first attend the annual traditional midnight mass, followed by Christmas brunch with my children, party at a friend’s house followed by the annual Christmas dance. —Marc Robinson, model, Fashion choreographer

Festive spirit

I just love Christmas…the weather is just right, sparkle around the road and festivities in the air. There is no Christmas without films and gifts; best present for me has to be being surrounded by people I love. And, of course, this is the time for Home Alone. —Flora Saini, Actor

Joyous times

Here’s to wishing, wanting and expecting Santa to make Christmas joyous for everyone. A cake with hot chocolate is a must have for me. I have spent few of my Christmases with kids in the orphanage and those have been the best times. Dancing and enjoying – it’s been the most touching and humbling experiences of my life. The Holiday is my go-to Christmas flick. —Smriti Kalra, Actor

For the child in me

Party time

I am excited about partying with my friends and playing Secret Santa. My favourite thing about Christmas is sipping hot chocolate with marshmallows and watching fun films. It’s a festival that marks a break from studies and getting together with family and friends. —Vaishnavi, Actor

Misty mornings

I remember believing in Santa Claus as a kid and waiting for my gifts on the Christmas Eve vividly. I love that Christmas marks the end of the year.

Secret wish

Christmas is such an amazing festival. It is full of happiness and new hopes. If I were a Santa, I would want to give my mom unlimited gifts. As a single mother she has done so much hard work in her life. So this time, I will be a secret Santa for my mother to give everything that she had missed in her life. —Kate Sharma, Actor
