December at Vedanya feels like someone has switched on a little bit of magic. The moment the month begins, the corridors start to look brighter, sound happier, and smell more creative.
Every classroom turns festive in its own way—glittering red stars on walls, cotton snow on boards, paper trees made from leftover chart paper, and Santa caps bobbing everywhere. Every classroom transforms into a tiny Santa’s workshop, with the smell of crayons, paints and bursts of colour filling the air.
You’ll find children busy snipping paper, brushing paint, and creating eco-friendly decorations from newspaper and scrap, proving that Christmas can be green too.
The pottery corner is full of excitement as small hands shape clay into bells, miniature trees, and star-shaped magnets. The soft, earthy smell of clay mixes with the sound of carols drifting from the music room, where children practise jingles, drums, and xylophone tunes—some confidently, some giggling through missed notes.
Even the playground feels different in December. PE turns festive with Santa-hat races, reindeer relays, and snowball dodgeball using soft white balls. Laughter, footsteps, and whistles fill the cool winter air as children run, hop, cheer and sometimes chase flying Santa caps!
Christmas in school is also about kindness. Children make cards for helpers, bring books and toys for donation drives, and create handmade gifts for friends. The smallest acts leave the warmest feelings.
No matter your age, the sound of Santa arriving—bells jingling, boots tapping, a cheerful “Ho Ho Ho!”—always brings wide smiles and bright eyes. That moment alone feels like pure magic.
In the end, Christmas in our school is not just seen—it is heard in carols, smelled in paint and clay, touched through crafts, felt on the playground, and shared through kindness. It turns December into a month of colour, creativity, joy, and togetherness.
And that is the real Christmas magic children carry with them long after the school bell rings for the holidays.
December also brings in all the winter treats and I am so tempted to pen these lines for all of you, inspired by my friends and their magnanimity as far as desserts go. So here it is. Please humour me by enjoying it.
December arrives like a warm gajar halwa hug,
Sweet, cosy, and glowing in every mug.
Morning chill dances with Christmas cheer,
As laughter and sparkle fill the school year.
Til-gud crunches in tiffins bright,
While paper stars shimmer silver-white.
Santa caps bob like red pinnis in a row,
And winter sun feels like soft rewri’s glow.
Carols swirl with the smell of warm treats,
Cold noses, warm hands, joyful beats.
December in school is a magical mix,
Of winter sweets and festive tricks.
Merry Christmas from all of us and see you all aglow in the New Year
