This book captures the vibrancy of the Anglo-Indian community in Calcutta and provides a compelling account of why Christmas is so special in the city. Comprising life stories, memoirs and essays on issues of contemporary interest, it touches upon a wide range of subjects—culture, religion, beliefs, people, places, perceptions and much pertaining to the Christian community and its surroundings.

Further focusing on the origins, characteristics and the constitutional definition of the community, it discusses at length the practice of Christianity, the failings of the education system for the community and the consolidation of their community through the Anglo-Indian care.
