“Christmas reminds us of the warmth hidden inside the heart of the winter season. It is that time of the year when we celebrate the goodness inside our hearts and spread joy around on the birth anniversary of Jesus Christ.  Christmas also signals the arrival of the New Year and with it the countless new possibilities and opportunities for all. I would like to wish all Apeejay students all the best for the coming year coming ahead and Merry Christmas to all”
