It’s a myth that migrants from India don’t celebrate Christmas.
Sunita Khanna, with her group of mostly senior citizens from Melbourne’s Punjabi community, organised a Christmas picnic in a local park. One of her friends even played Santa.
On the other hand, Anhad Singh, a schoolboy from Adelaide earned rich dividends for decorating a Christmas tree and waiting patiently for Santa Claus who “visited from the North Pole riding a sleigh pulled by reindeers”.
Nimrat Preet Singh of Melbourne found a unique way to ring in Christmas by cleaning up his house, washing his car, giving his dog a shower and one to himself too, before settling down for a barbeque. It is well-deserved after so much hard work!
