In Indonesia, one can spot Christmas buffs not only in the neighborhood cathedrals but also on the streets of Indonesia. Everybody gets so much overwhelmed by the festivities that lots of Christmas street shows catch on. Many people seem to rush to Indonesian churches in order to witness a variety of Church skits that relive the scenes of our Messiah’s birth. After being enamored by all the hoopla, they are dispensed with special Christmas cakes that the Church reserves for the weekly feast after the skit performance. Moreover, the church makes all the formal arrangements for the mass meal of the church, which consists an assortment of pork and bowlful of rice.
Going further from the church jubilations, Indonesia’s craze for Christmas can be felt in the premises of Indonesian schools. With elders left way behind, the Christmas celebrations reach the exhilarating point with various things that the fanatic Indonesian school kids do.
