While Christmas and Boxing Day are general holidays, the optional status of Christmas Eve provides flexibility for schools in Hyderabad and other districts regarding its observance.
Christmas festival
Christmas is an annual festival celebrated by billions of people worldwide to honor the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a time of joy, family gatherings, and religious significance, marked by traditions such as decorating Christmas trees, singing carols, and exchanging gifts.
Since the Christmas Eve holiday is optional, schools in Hyderabad may declare either two or three days of holidays. Thus, out of seven days next week, schools will function for either 3 or 4 days only.
