So they sing........Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
We Wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas...
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at you nose...
O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining....
Silent Night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright...
Come they told me, parapapampam, a new born king to see...
It is the start of anticipating the holiday season here in the Philippines. Normally after All Souls Day and All Saints Day which falls on the 1st and 2nd of November respectively, here in the Philippines, we start setting up Christmas trees, parols, lights and whatever festive decorations we can think of. This is the time of the year wherein everybody unites to celebrate the birth of Christ. The Holiday season is always festive in mood but this I can assure you, the Philippines has one of the best if not the best Christmas celebrations and gatherings compared to any other countries. No matter how tightly the budget are, no matter how small the party is and limited the food are, people always gather together, reunions, dinners, enjoyment, gift giving, sharing. We Filipinos love Christmas and money as well as problems will never hinder us from celebrating Christmas. This is what I love about the Philippines, no matter how ugly the write-ups and the politicians are, still, Christmas here is the best in the world.
Merry Merry Christmas everyone!
Gotta go and help mom set-up our wonderful Christmas tree....
