in asia, christmas is largely ignored and not celebrated in any visible way. Goa, being a hot spot of westerners, comfortably mixes christmas with the vedic traditions. statutes of jesus and mary get garlands and there is a special procession with candles and lots of pomp and a lot of chanting in sanskrit which i don't understand at all. it's nice they made an effort and they even present the guests with presents.
