Christmas now is not only the biggest festival of the western country and also not only of those who are christians, but here in Nepal this festival is celebrated by all, Christians and non-christians, spreading the message of brotherhood, sisterhood and friendship and peace. From little children to teenagers and those in their late 20s and 30s do also celebrate this festival cordially. The shops of the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu, is decorated with Christmas trees, Santa and other Christmas gifts. In some places in Kathmandu like Thamel and New Road the whole streets are decorated with items related to christmas and people are seen busy buying gifts to their relatives and children.
Nepal is a kingdom of cultural diversity and here people of different culture lives cordially.
