By Lavina Melwani • Dec 18th, 2012 • Category: FaithWhile Christmas is important to Indian Christians as a celebration of faith, many non-Christians enjoy it as a secular holiday in ways small and big.

One person who takes Christmas very seriously is Mohina Josen, a second generation Indian-American who grew up in New York.
