Undeniable benefits Christmas brings to students in Schools in Gurgaon

Christmas is a cultural and commercial phenomenon, respected with traditions and practices that are religious and secular as well. People from different faiths across the world celebrate Christmas, its not only Christians.
Centuries before Christmas began to be observed as the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ (the spiritual guide whose teachings laid the foundation of Christianity), the middle of winter was being celebrated around the world. Europeans celebrated it with light in the darkest days of winter, rejoiced during winter solstice leaving behind the worst of the winter, looking forward to longer days and extended hours of sunlight.
Many schools in Gurgaon celebrate Christmas a day before that is on Christmas Eve, the 24th of December when students go to school wearing Santa dress and Christmas caps and share gifts with their friends and teachers. This time 22nd December is the last working day before students go for winter vacations. That is when Lancers will celebrate Christmas!
