REJOICE THE TRADITIONAL WAY !!!

The design of the Christmas lantern evokes the star of Bethlehem that guided the kings to the manger. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and hope during the Christmas season.
Traditionally, the star-shaped framework is made of bamboo sticks which are then covered by colored pieces of china paper. The most common form is a five-pointed star with two decorative "tails".
In the present scenario these homemade crafts work are replaced by machine made lanterns which usually come in various sizes that are electrically lit.
The traditional homemade ones lit with a lantern are no more seen.
Why not rejoice Christmas the old-style this time!!!

Merry Christmas !!!
