The Christians in India go to Midnight Mass at churches decorated with poinsettias and candles.After that they have a feast then go home and celebrate Christmas by lighting fire crackers. In south India they put oil burning lamps on their roofs as a sign of Jesus. Many schools put on Nativity plays. The children also get a visit from a costumed Santa that brings candies.
