With only a few days left in the commencement of the celebrations of the grand festival of Christmas, the Christian community in the federal capital like other parts of the country has started decorating the Christmas tree which is the centrepiece of the festive joy.
The Christmas tree is the main symbol of the Christmas celebrations to welcome the arrival of Santa Claus and creates more attraction to the occasion of Christmas with its colourful decorative look.
The members of the Christian community have started decorating the evergreen coniferous tree, real or artificial, as a tradition associated with the celebration of Christmas.
The tree is usually decked with different ornaments including baubles, small bells painted gold 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 are often placed at the top of the tree representing the host of angels.
“I have started the ornamentation of my Christmas tree before the time and I am excited because all my friends are visiting my home to see the colourful tree”, said Asiya Yusuf, a youngster. She said, “Decorating Christmas tree is the main hallmark of this festival, “our festival remains incomplete without bringing this tree”.
