Jalandhar: The city is getting ready for Christmas festivities.
Jalandhar: With just two days left to celebrate the birth of Lord Jesus Christ, the entire city is adorned in red, white, and green. From school campuses to markets, a festive atmosphere prevails everywhere. Churches are decorated, and Christmas trees are decked with all kinds of ornaments. Large Santa Claus figures have been placed at the entrances of shops. Tan Coffee, a popular cafe in Model Town, stands out with its giant Santa Claus enjoying a hot cup of coffee. Carnivals are also being held in the city, featuring music, jingle bells, and other carols. The Jalandhar Gymkhana Club is organizing a carnival in the afternoon. It will feature festive decorations, a fun zone for children, games, entertainment shows, music, and treats like snacks, popcorn, coffee, and candy. Children can look forward to even more fun with electric toy trains, jumping castles, balloon bouncing, puppet shows, magic shows, tattoo making, and cartooning.
Many residential societies are also organizing Christmas parties. A ‘Frosty Fiesta’ carnival is being organized at Jalandhar Heights-2. It will feature a live DJ, food stalls, games for all ages, and fun shopping options. Christmas was celebrated at MHR DAV Institute of Nursing on Tuesday. The chief guest for the event was Dr. Reena Jerus, former Principal of CMC College of Nursing, Ludhiana. Professor Bilkis Victor from CMC College of Nursing and Dr. Harbans Kaur, Principal of SPN Mukerian, were welcomed by Principal Dr. Veena Williams. At Innocent Hearts Schools, in all its campuses at Green Model Town, Loharan, Cantt-Jandiala Road, Kapurthala Road, and Noorpur Road, Christmas was celebrated with great enthusiasm and festive spirit. The festivities began in the pre-primary wing, where the blooming buds from pre-nursery to UKG celebrated the occasion with innocence and joy. The little ones were told the story of the birth of Lord Jesus Christ and the legend of Santa Claus, reinforcing the timeless values of love, kindness, sharing, and generosity. Dressed in red and white, the children truly embodied the spirit of “share and care,” which was the essence of this celebration.
