New Delhi, Dec 21 (IANS) Actor Randeep Hooda says Christmas, though not a religious affair for him, has always been special.

Scotch brand William Lawson's kicked-off Christmas 2018 on Thursday in Gurugram by challenging everyone to channel their inner 'Bad Boy' with Randeep.

"Christmas, though not a religious affair for me, has always been special because of all the funky and unusual presents I receive. I believe that there are no rules to be followed when it comes to celebrating the holiday season, as William Lawson's rightly puts it," Randeep said in a statement.

"While the evenings with my party animals are full of energy, I bring in the season with a peaceful meal along with my closest family and friends," added the actor.

The festival commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25 every year.
