During the Christmas of 2005 in Singapore, six three dimensional animated songbirds were released from Christmas gift boxes which were situated at the Scotts junction. Apart from this animated version release of song birds, at several locations sound shells were installed along Orchard Road in order to serenade passers by with Christmas carols. Also created at the same time was the world’s tallest artificial Christmas tree consisting of 11,520 artificial pine leaves, 15,000 dazzling white fairy lights, 200 rope lights, and around 500 blinking strobes.

It is obvious that India with its over 26 million Christian population will celebrate Christmas in grand style. Christmas celebration in India begins with the caroling processions in the major city streets.
