This year was no different. Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma joined the state's Leader of Opposition and former Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, Assembly Speaker Metbah Lyngdoh and senior MLA Charles Pyngrope in singing Christmas carols and spreading festive cheer. The leaders were joined by Santa Claus as they grooved to Feliz Navidad.
A video of the open-air event - a pre-Christmas celebration with state ministers and MLAs - showed the crowd dancing and clapping as the state leaders sang.
"Was delighted to join Hon'ble Speaker, Hon'ble Leader of Opposition & Hon'ble MLA in singing the #Christmas carol at the Pre-Christmas Celebration joined by our colleagues. #Meghalaya sends its Christmas blessings to each of you," Conrad Sangma wrote as he shared the video on Twitter.
