Christmas Programme Report
‘Tis the season to be jolly… falalalala lalalala!
Christmas is a season of praise and thanksgiving for the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ, which begins with Christmas Eve (December 24 after sundown) or Day and continues through the Day of Epiphany. The name Christmas comes from the season’s first service, the Christ Mass. Epiphany comes from the Greek word epiphania, which means “manifestation.” The true message of Christmas is found in the Bible. Before Santa and the presents, Christmas trees was the original story of the Nativity, the birth of Jesus. Christians will tell you that Jesus was born in a manger and in complete poverty.
Christmas is known and celebrated not only by Catholics but by everyone no matter the religion around the world.
Just like that, Christmas is celebrated by every school and every college.
On that note, Christmas was also celebrated by the FYB.Ed students of Rizvi College of Education, Bandra on the 24th of December, 2019.
The students did their prior preparation with the popular game of Secret Santa and exchanged gifts with the ones whose name they picked up via a chit on the day of the celebration.
The event started with the students decorating the board with drawings of Baby Jesus along with Mary and Joseph and with messages and greetings pertaining to Christmas.
The white board had this beautiful drawing of Baby Jesus in a manger with animals surrounding him and a message saying ‘A child has been born for us, a son is given to us; authority rests upon him and he is named Jesus.’ This message was beautifully arranged to spell ‘CHRISTMAS.’
The traditional Christmas tree was decorated with handmade decorations by Kajol Rathod, Urvashi Parmar and Priya Parmar. The Secret Santa gifts were placed in the traditional way underneath the Christmas tree.
The event began at around 12pm with the teachers and everyone present being greeted by Tehrim. A small assembly was, too, organised on the significance of Christmas which was insightful and enlightening.
After the assembly, the Christmas Tableau was performed by the very own students of FYB.Ed. A Christmas Tableau is the portrayal of the Incarnation and birth of Jesus Christ. It begins when the Angel Gabriel reveals to Mary that she will be carrying the Son of God. Every student has a character that represents someone from this story.
What makes this Tableau come to life goes beyond the costumes and props—it is how the story is carried out.
We had Perpetual Serrao leading us through the narrative part of the tableau and the carol singers singing their songs of praise blending in with the tableau.
Followed by the tableau, the carol singers, Perpetual Serrao, Diona and Priya lead us through familiar carols bringing in the festive vibe of Christmas.
The carol singing was followed by a small game where two groups were formed and each of the groups were given a set of the alphabet and the host gave out random words and quizzes relating to Christmas.
After the game, snacks were distributed. And oh! What’s a Christmas party without Santa Claus! A surprise visit by Santa Claus who distributed our Secret Santa presents! A little more of Carol singing with Santa dancing and prancing in the classroom square!
And with that, the Christmas Party was over with everyone returning home with smiles of festive joy and presents!
“He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
‘HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL,
AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT’”
