Christmas Celebrations

Christmas time at SDM was a blizzard of fun and frolic starting from the traditional Xmas tree with lights to the Wonderful Crib depicting the Nativity scene. Xmas eve on the 24th was greatly anticipated by all in the SDMIMD family. The events kicked off with a wonderful carol service by our own students. The highlight of the evening was Santa’s arrival amidst the gathering with his sweets and presents. Following this, Santa gave away gifts to everyone at his Gift Counter along with cakes and juice. Then, it was time for some games. The highlight of the games was that whatever amount was collected from them was contributed to charity. The games, especially the balloon popping game, proved to be a great hit with lots of eager people trying them out. The evening indeed turned out to be a truly magical one with the Christmas Spirit spreading joy and cheer to everyone.
