Christmas preparations gain momentum in Capital

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The preparations of the festival of Christmas is gaining momentum in twin cities as the Christian community living across the country is going to celebrate their festival with religious fervor.

The hotels and churches of the federal capital are being decorated heavily, while the Christmas trees are being decorated with colorful flowers and gifts.

On Christmas, the X-mas tree is usually decked with different ornaments, including baubles, small bells painted in golden or silver, stars of different shapes and sizes, pine cones, apples, candies, tinsel and balloons made from glass, metal, wood and ceramic. An angel and star is often placed at the top of the tree representing the host of angels.

Costumed in bright red color with snowy white fur, the jolly white-bearded man known as Santa Claus serves as the most-enchanting tradition and attraction during Christmas festivities.

Youngsters and children seem exciting while waiting for Santa Claus as his vibrant outfit of red coat with white collar and cuffs, white-cuffed red trousers, and black leather belt and boots spreads joy on their faces.
