One of our favorite Christmas traditions is going to the grandparents’ house, where the whole family gathers for a hearty lunch. The laughter and warmth of everyone being together is what makes it so special. After lunch, we share gifts with each other – watching everyone’s faces light up with joy is truly the best part of the day.

2. Sing a Song – Sing my favourite nursery rhyme, Christmas carol which I’m learning in school , or any happy tune to brighten my mummy daddy’s day and Grandparents and masis day.

3. Share Hugs – Give big, warm hugs to family members or loved ones to show affection.

4. Help with Small Tasks – Help carry lightweight things like napkins or cushions covers to make Asha didi and Roshni didi smile and happy. They help me so much so I help them back.

5. Draw Pictures – Create simple art or finger paintings and gift them to grandparents, teachers, or neighbors all the time I love it.

6. Give Compliments – Say cute things like “You look so pretty today!” or “I love your dress “ when mummy dresses up.
