In the order a household actually does it, including what to set up beforehand.
Advent (Dec 1 onwards)
Set up the tree and lights, and the nativity crib. In many Indian towns this is a community effort with street-level decorations.
Christmas Eve
Attend the midnight mass, usually in the local parish church. In Kerala, Goa and the Northeast, masses can be in Malayalam, Konkani or local languages as well as English, Tamil or Hindi.
Christmas Day
Exchange gifts in the morning and gather for the main family meal. In most Indian Christian households the meal is lunch rather than dinner, given the midnight mass.
Boxing Day and after
Visit relatives, neighbours and friends, exchange cake with non-Christian neighbours, and continue carol singing in the Northeast and Kerala through the week.

Ritual order genuinely varies. Where it does, this is the difference.
The largest Christian population in India proportionally. Christmas is marked with star lanterns at every window, midnight mass in Malayalam, appam and stew breakfast, and the Kerala plum cake. The Coonan Cross and Syrian Christian liturgies are distinct from Latin-rite practice.
Portuguese-influenced Christmas with midnight mass, sorpotel, bebinca, and community carol-singing. The state's Christmas and New Year season is a major tourist period.
Christmas is the largest festival of the year in these states, with carol competitions from early December, church services, community feasts, and in Nagaland and Mizoram near-total shutdown of business for the period.
A significant Christian population, particularly in the Kanyakumari and Tuticorin districts, with midnight mass in Tamil and a Christmas meal that centers on rice preparations and cake.
Observed by the Christian community with midnight mass in Hindi or English, and cake and decoration widely adopted by non-Christian households as a general December season.
Large midnight masses in Bandra and the East Indian parishes, with the Ranwar and Khotachiwadi Christmas traditions and a very visible street-level celebration.
