Today marks the kick start of the festive occasion, which comes along with the lighting up of Christmas trees brightening stands of gift shops, hotels, restaurants to the corridors and living room of every home.
Just as churches will be filled with practitioners singing carol songs to celebrate the birth of Christ along with the church choirs, the conference centre, fantasy dome, hotel auditoriums and large parks are also gearing up to host the most laudable artists’ headliners of all time as they treat and entertain their audience with the best versions of their songs, which topped charts this year. Movie lovers are also not left out this festive season as their favourite stars are coming in to help flood their phone galleries for a Christmas wallpaper change.
