When the American minister and author Norman Vincent Peale remarked, "Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.", we all genuinely felt it. Christmas is the time of the year when joy, brotherhood and love blossom just like poinsettias of floral displays in the festive season. The aura is filled with zeal, festivities and positivity. With lights glowing all around and the spirit of giving gifts to one another, the wholesomeness of the festival can't be described with just a few words.
