Christmas
2023:
Christmas
is
one
of
the
most
celebrated
holidays
across
the
globe
with
many
using
it
as
a
time
to
bask
in
the
festive
cheer.
Neha
Dinesh
Anand,
last
seen
in
Temptation
Island
India,
opens
up
about
how
she
loves
to
celebrate
Christmas
and
also
shares
her
special
traditions
of
the
holiday.
Talking
about
how
she
creates
a
festive
atmosphere
in
her
home
during
Christmas,
Neha
says,
"Christmas
revolves
around
family
and
food.
I
eagerly
anticipate
enjoying
delicious
meals,
indulging
in
traditional
brunches,
and
savoring
classic
Christmas
dishes,
including
the
pumpkin
cake."
Neha
reflects
on
a
memory
of
a
Christmas
celebration
during
the
COVID
lockdown
while
she
was
in
Goa,
"I
cherish
memories
of
Christmas
away
from
home,
particularly
during
the
COVID
lockdown
when
I
was
in
a
bio-bubble
in
Goa
hosting
the
Hero
ISL
Football
league.
Despite
being
away
from
their
families,
fellow
participants
organized
a
fantastic
Christmas
party.
They
arranged
a
morning
Christmas
tea,
decorated
the
rooms
with
items
ordered
from
Amazon,
set
up
a
Christmas
tree,
and
hosted
a
delightful
Christmas
lunch
and
evening
drinks."
The
actress
says
that
maintaining
Christmas
traditions
are
really
important
to
her
and
she
enjoys
them
to
the
fullest,
"I
cherish
Christmas
as
my
favorite
holiday,
filled
with
fond
memories
of
celebrating
with
my
parents.
Regardless
of
where
I
am,
whether
in
a
different
country
or
state
due
to
my
acting
career,
I
always
maintain
unique
traditions
like
decorating
the
tree,
making
wishes
for
Santa,
and
hanging
a
stocking,
even
when
away
from
home."
She
adds
what
that
one
Christmas
tradition
which
she
cherishes
is,
"My
cherished
Christmas
tradition
involves
decorating
the
tree
with
my
mom,
accompanied
by
the
hilarious
antics
of
our
mischievous
dog,
Dobiee.
Despite
his
penchant
for
swiping
Christmas
decorations,
especially
socks,
we
navigate
the
challenge
of
putting
up
lights
and
ensuring
he
doesn't
snatch
anything.
Successfully
completing
the
tree
decorations
and
enjoying
delicious
cakes
make
it
my
favorite
holiday
tradition."
Neha
also
shares
her
love
for
Christmas
movies
and
tells
us
which
her
all-time
favourites
are,
"I
adore
Christmas
movies,
and
while
all
the
festive
films
are
inherently
beautiful,
'Home
Alone'
holds
a
special
place
in
my
heart.
It's
my
all-time
favorite,
regardless
of
others'
opinions."
There's
one
more
Christmas
movie
which
she
considers
her
'ultimate
favourite,'
"My
ultimate
favorite
Christmas-related
movie
is
'Love
Actually.'
The
film,
with
its
diverse
love
stories,
has
left
a
lasting
impression
on
me.
'Salami
Ishq,'
a
remake
of
this
film,
also
holds
a
special
place.
The
poignant
Christmas
scene
at
the
end,
where
a
character
expresses
love,
is
particularly
memorable.
Overall,
'Love
Actually'
stands
as
my
top
choice
among
movies."
Neha
Dinesh
Anand
wishes
all
the
readers
a
Merry
Christmas!
