What makes Christmas special is the fact that it was never about faith or religion in the first place; Christmas has always been about celebrating the spirit of togetherness and the upcoming holiday season with family and friends. Well, the second year students at IIM Ranchi showed great Christmas spirit and fervor this time around. The common room was well-decorated to celebrate the festival; the Christmas tree was right up there, the room was all lighted up and glittery.
It was a week of Christmas celebrations at IIM Ranchi which saw students “caroling” their hearts out. A week before Christmas, the seniors got together and went from block to block, every night, singing Christmas carols and encouraging all and sundry to come together and be a part of the daily night caroling. It was a different block and destination for Santa and his companions, every night. Their presence spread euphoria in each block as students got out of their rooms when Santa came to greet them along with his companions. It was great to see one of the most cheerful seniors around in Santa's avatar. With Santa in the block, students cheerfully sang carols together in chorus and on top of their voices, every night.
The Christmas celebrations culminated in an all student-fraternity gathering in the common room. Students sang carols with great fervor and enthusiasm and enjoyed their mouth-watering share of Christmas cake with some simmering hot coffee. It was a welcome break for the juniors who had a brief, two day gap during their end-term examinations; all credits to the great festive spirit shown by the seniors who collaborated together to organize the celebrations.
