Santa's Day Out...

"Jingle Bells Jingle Bells
 Jingle All the way
Santa Claus is coming along
 riding on its way"

It's Christmas,  today on 25th December,  and this is what we hear echoing all over the world.. And when mentioning Christmas, "Santa Claus" comes to our mind; the very elegant and fun filled guy with a red suit and red cap carrying a bag full of gifts for everyone... We caught up with some stars to know about their Christmas plans, and what they want from Santa this year...

 

Krystle D'Souza:

How do you plan to celebrate Christmas this year?
We will go to the church on 24th midnight, and will be there till 25th morning. My mom has called our friends and relatives home on the 25th, so we will give them sweets. In the evening, I plan to go out for a party with my Balaji friends. We have decorated our house and also have a 7ft Christmas tree. My dad has got loads of gifts for all of us, and we are looking forward to getting them. And of course, my mom has made different kind of sweets, of which my favorites are cookies and cakes.

What is the gift you would ask for, if Santa comes to your house?
I will ask for no terrorism right now.

If you get an opportunity to dress up as Santa, who would you give gifts to and what would you gift?
Well, this question reminds me of my father. When we were kids, he used to get dressed as Santa and shower us with gifts.  He used to keep his red suit and cap safely and would use it every year. As of now, I would like to give loads of kisses to my friends Abigael, Akshata, Krrutika and all in my family.

Shweta Keswani:

How do you plan to celebrate Christmas this year?
My friend had hosted a party on the 24th at her place, so I was there for lunch. On the eve of Christmas, I went to Pooja Bedi's place and had a gala time with a bunch of friends.

What is the gift you would ask for, if Santa comes to your house?
I would ask for boundless joy for the rest of my life.

If you get an opportunity to dress up as Santa, who would you give gifts to and what would you gift?
I would give all the citizens of Mumbai a peaceful life.

Is there any actor in the telly industry who would look good dressed as Santa?
I think Ali Asgar will look sweet as Santa.

Rajeev Paul:

How do you plan to celebrate Christmas this year?
Delnaaz and I are conducting a show in Ahmedabad for Christmas. We express our solidarity for whatever happened this month, but work is work.

What is the gift you would ask for, if Santa comes to your house?
I would ask Santa to grant peace and happiness to the entire world. I would ask him to give happiness to the families who have lost their near and dear ones due to the attack. Everything else can come later, but this is what is needed now.

If you get an opportunity to dress up as Santa, who would you give gifts to and what would you gift?
I would want to spread happiness all over, and want to see everyone with a smile..

Jennifer Winget:

How do you plan to celebrate Christmas this year?
I would like to keep it low profile this year, owing to the situation the city is in after the terror attacks. We normally go out and have a gala time, but this year we are having a small private affair at home. We will be going to the church. We have decorated our house and have a 5 ft Christmas tree. My grandmother has made yummy doughnuts too.

What is the gift you would ask for, if Santa comes to your house?
I would ask Santa to restore peace in the entire world. Also, on a funnier note, I want 2-3 months off and would want Santa to arrange for a world travel. I will want to see the best of places and travel the best way possible. That way, this will be a costly proposition for Santa (grins).

If you get an opportunity to dress up as Santa, who would you give gifts to and what would you gift?
Santa is Santa and I do not want to take his status..

Chetan Hansraj:

How do you plan to celebrate Christmas this year?
I have organized a party at my house, and have invited all my friends and relatives. We are going to have a blast.

What is the gift you would ask for, if Santa comes to your house?
I would ask Santa to provide my son Ethen with a play station.

If you get an opportunity to dress up as Santa, who would you give gifts to and what would you gift?
If I get a chance to be Santa, I would gift my son Ethen with all the toys and gifts that he wishes for, and will give him loads of love and happiness in life.

Is there any actor in telly industry who would look good dressed as Santa?
Gaurav Gera would look great as Santa. That guy is one hilarious person..

Abigael:

How do you plan to celebrate Christmas this year?
I have always celebrated Christmas with family and friends, and this year too, I will be with them.

What is the gift you would ask for, if Santa comes to your house?
As the recession period is on, I would tell Santa to spread peace and cover up losses for those who have lost their jobs.

If you get an opportunity to dress up as Santa, who would you give gifts to and what would you gift?
I would distribute chocolates to all the telly actors so that they become chubby like me (grins)

Is there any actor in telly industry who would look good dressed as Santa?
I think Shabbir will make a good Santa..

We wish Santa Claus fulfills each and everyone's wishes, and to one and all wishing you "Merry Christmas"
