Prof. Ponnamma R. Singh, Principal, College of Nursing, Christian Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana welcomed the gathering. She emphasised that the message by Jesus Christ “The Prince of Peace” is very relevant in today’s world. We have to love those who need to be loved, give to those who are in need and spread the joy of Christmas. The dignitaries, guests, teachers and students joined the college choir to sing traditional and modern Christmas carols.

The opening prayer and the Christmas message was given by Rev. Alex Peter, H.O.D., Fellowship Department. The whole gathering was then enlightened with the message from the Director Dr. Abraham G. Thomas. He gave an inspiring Christmas message which reminded us of the love and peace brought to earth by Jesus Christ. He wished the staff and students a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

The soulful and pleasant carols by students mesmerized all and filled the air with happiness. Continuing with the Christmas merriment students presented the Christmas play “Honest Christmas” which showed that we have to look at Christmas in a new way this year and we have to invite Jesus into our heart.

The most awaited moment was “Arrival of Santa” who had a merry time with the gathering and distributed gifts among students. At the end all enjoyed the fellowship and relished the banquet together as a family in beautifully decorated and illuminated College of Nursing.
