Communities Celebrate Christmas with Carnivals and Treats
Three different groups celebrated Christmas in their own special ways.
In Rail Vihar Phase III B, residents had a big carnival with fun activities, food, and a visit from Santa Claus.
It was the third year they did this, and everyone had a great time.
In GC Block, people got together for the first time to decorate a park and have a party with games and a big cake.
Meanwhile, the Rotary Club of Calcutta took over 1,500 children to Nicco Park for a day of fun, food, and games.
This was their 100th year doing this special event for kids.
