In the eclectic words of Calvin Coolidge, “Christmas is neither a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

 
In the eclectic words of Calvin Coolidge, “Christmas is neither a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.” Keeping true to his words, Christmas is an emotion and an expression of joy. People truly discover joy when they learn to savour the particulars of the Christmas emotion. Savouring requires us to pause and be conscious, to experience the celebration with our senses. At the Windamere Colonial Hotel, the oldest hotel on Observatory Hill in the hill-station town of Darjeeling, the celebration of Christmas is an extraordinary affair.

In the recent past, famous entertainers from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, America, and France have also captivated Windamere’s audiences with their alluring words and enchanting music. The millennium Christmas of 1999 has etched a special place in Windamere’s glorious history as the most outstanding Christmas celebration ever till date.
