India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I

The 2nd T20I between India and Sri Lanka will be played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.

India have outclassed Sri Lanka so far in the ongoing series and are looking like overwhelming favourites in the 2nd T20 International against Sri Lanka, which will be played at the Holkar Stadium at Indore today. In absence of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma-led India will be looking to seal off the three-match T20I series with yet another win against a depleted Lankan side. However, the visitors possibly would have the best opportunity in the T20 format, where things can change in a rush. There seems no end to the woes of the visitors. While the Indian youngsters have put their hands up to deliver the goods, the Lankans are going through a terrible phase of transition during which they are badly in need of reliable performers.

Cardi B's Glam Holiday Style

What She Wore: Cardi B's Glam Holiday Style

Cardi B, Billboard's latest cover star, is really getting into the holiday spirit. The hip-hop artist made an appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show on Wednesday in a green look that lived up to the iconic Christmas tree that stands tall next to the show’s studio.

Her festive ensemble showcased the popular holiday hue and a whole lot of fur. The 25-year-old wore a Rubin Singer jacket that featured massive dark green fuzzy sleeves, black pants, and of course, a pair of what she refers to as "bloody shoes." Instead of opting for a standard black pump, Cardi took her outfit to the next level by slipping on jade-coloredChristian Louboutin heels that complemented her top perfectly.

The stylishly polished look garnered a wave of both positive and negative comments, but Cardi made it known that she's in no way obligated to dress one certain way. The "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker shut down social media trolls with an Instagram post captioned: "If I wear a leotard with boots, I'm dressed like a hoe. If I dress like this, I'm not being myself. Being myself is FASHION." Now that's how you prove a point and make a statement.

Even before all the green, Cardi already had her Christmas nails freshly prepped and ready for the holiday season. She chose bright-red stiletto-style claws embellished with a bedazzled crystal design. We can only imagine what extravagant look she’ll pull together for the 25th.

Good Morning Cookies

Best Rolled Sugar Cookies

"Whenever you make these cookies for someone, be sure to bring along several copies of the recipe! You will be asked for it, I promise! NOTE: I make icing with confectioners' sugar and milk. I make it fairly thin, as I 'paint' the icing on the cookies with a pastry brush. Thin enough to spread easily but not so thin that it just makes your cookies wet and runs off."

Christmas day countdown begin Be ready for your party

Christmas Day in All over world

What Do People Do?

People celebrate Christmas Day in many ways. In the days or even weeks before Christmas Day, many people decorate their homes and gardens with lights, Christmas trees and much more. It is common to organize a special meal, often consisting of turkey and a lot of other festive foods, for family or friends and exchange gifts with them. Children, in particular, often receive a lot of gifts from their parents and other relatives and the mythical figure Santa Claus. This has led to Christmas Day becoming an increasingly commercialized holiday, with a lot of families spending a large part of their income on gifts and food.

Many Sunday schools, churches and communities organize special events. These can include decorating the neighborhood or a shopping mall, putting up a Christmas tree and planning a Nativity display, concert or performance. A lot of plays and songs have a aspect of Christmas as a theme. Some groups arrange meals, shelter or charitable projects for people without a home or with very little money.

Public Life

Government offices, organizations, businesses and schools are closed, almost without exception. Many people visit relatives or friends and are out of town. This may cause congestion on highways and at airports. Public transit systems do not run on their regular schedules. In general, public life closes down completely.

Background

The original meaning of Christmas is a special church service, or mass, to celebrate the birth of Christ. The story of the Nativity, or the events surrounding the birth of Jesus, are particularly important in religious celebrations of Christmas. However, many traditions that are around today have their roots in pre-Christian winter festivals. These include the importance of candles and decorations made from evergreen bushes and tree, symbolizing everlasting light and life.

In Roman times, a mid-winter festival was held. This was a relaxing time with a lot of parties and merry making. It was also common to give other people small gifts, such as dolls for children and candles for adults. This festival culminated with the celebration of the winter solstice, which fell on December 25 in the Roman calendar. In Scandinavia, a festival called Yule and lasting up to twelve days was held in late December and early January. In this time people burnt logs and held parties. These customs have influences how Christmas Day is celebrated today in the United States.

The Bible does not give a precise date for the birth of Jesus. It is also unclear when December 25 became associated with the birth of Jesus, although it may have been around two hundred years after his birth. In the early centuries of Christianity, the anniversary of the birth of Jesus was not a cause for celebrations. The idea of turning this day into a celebration started in the early Middle Ages in Europe.

During Reformation and up until the middle of the 1800s, Christmas was often not celebrated because partying and merry making was seen as unchristian. From about 1840, celebrating Christmas became more widespread. December 25 was declared a federal holiday in the United States in 1870. Since then Christmas Day has become a steadily more important holiday.

NEWS 2G VERDICT CASE

2G Verdict L: As Congress and DMK Claim Vindication, Arun Jaitley Says Judgment 'Not a Clean Chit' News live 

2G SPECTRUM SCAM VERDICT LIVE NEWS UPDATES: A special CBI court has acquitted all accused, including A Raja and Kanimozhi, in the 2G spectrum scam case, saying “quality of prosecution totally deteriorated and it became directionless and diffident”. Bouyed by the verdict, the DMK and the Congress say the entire case was a “massive conspiracy” and “propaganda”. Former UPA ministers Kapil Sibal, Manish Tewari and Veerappa Moily say former CAG Vinod Rai — who had pegged the loss to the exchequer at Rs 1.76 lakh crore — should be held accountable now. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, however, says the Congress shouldn’t treat the verdict as a “badge of honour”. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, a private complainant in the case, wants the CBI to appeal against the acquittals in High Court. The trial in 2G spectrum scam started six years ago in 2011 after the court had framed charges against 17 accused in the CBI case for offences that entailed punishment ranging from six months to life imprisonment.
