Any special planning for this year's Christmas:
This year I am moving to my new house on 22nd December in Oshiwara. I am damn excited as it is the beginning of Christmas and New Year. I am also excited about the party that I will have on Christmas as I am a hardcore party animal. It is been really long that I have not gone to any major party. Also I am hoping that I get to meet my Mr. Right this year.

On the fading of the essence of traditional festivals:
Yes, I agree to an extent. But I follow my traditions. I am going to perform Satyanarayan puja as I will shift to my new house. I do all the necessary puja and havan. I think you need to follow these rituals to ward off all the negative energy from the house. For me house-warming party is not that important but following the rituals is more important.

My contribution to the festival to keep it alive:
I generally buy gifts for my friends. I go out with my friends to party. I have a few Catholic friends for whom I buy special gifts. I hang out with my gang and celebrate Christmas.

Best Christmas party I have ever had:
It was three years ago at Madh Island. The Rahejas threw a bash and it was very happening. I just enjoyed myself a lot there. I just hope we have something like that this year too.

Childhood memory that I can recall of this special occasion:
As a kid I used to go to my neighbour's house because they used to give us chocolates and cake on Christmas. I used to ask my mother to buy me new clothes so that I could wear them for my neighbour's Christmas party. I used to buy gifts for my neighbour and then dance like a female. That was great fun.

One thing that I love the most about Christmas:
The red colour, Santa Claus, the tradition of gifting, the positive energy and vibes I receive from the festival. I also get excited whenever I happen to see a decorated Christmas tree

Doing up my house for Christmas:
As I will be busy shifting my base to my new house and the process is going to be very tiresome and stressing so I don't think I will be doing up my house in a big way. But I will buy a small tree for my house and decorate it. As far as decorating my house is concerned I will have to do it for the havan.
