One day to go, and it's Christmas Day
I know it's too early but we Filipinos usually starts celebrating Christmas day on September 1.And today is August 30,one day to go before September, which we will be going to start the count down before Christmas Eve. I saw a lot of meme's on fb that Mr. Jose Marie Chan will be showing his face on the window, in TV, in any department store again.
Did you also feel that it seems like yesterday that we have sing Christmas song, and I still remember that I also make an article with the same context last year before September will come in. We Filipinos have the longest celebration of Christmas Day, from September, October, November, December.
Personally, I like it when because I think people became smiling, and feeling positive as the Christmas day approaches. We have the quote that said, "Sana araw araw pasko", (hope that every day is Christmas), why because people are happier in this season. And everyone else became generous, sharing their blessing like food, gifts, and there will be more acquaintances with friends.
What am I excited for on this season?
First of all, it's the food, where we can cooked different types of dessert, and the decorations too. I'd like to see a huge Christmas tree or a tree with a lot of stars and balls. Every Christmas we don't have it in the house, like Christmas lights or stars, because I choose not to have it, because I choose to save a lot for Christmas rather than buying decorative for Christmas eve.
I still remember last year, we have visit a Christmas village in our town, even if there are still protocols, but people are still excited to be there because of the beautiful attraction that was built by the local government, and I'm sure this year, they will also install the a lot of if, because it became a tradition every year.
We still celebrate Christmas in the midst of pandemic
Since the pandemic have started from 2019, 2020,2021,we are still able to celebrate Christmas day, because we like to stay positive and happy amidst the health crisis in the world. It doesn't matter if life is really tough, the world is changing, what matter is that we still find joy in our heart and we're able to express it to other people and within the family.
There will be a glittery night and strolling Filipinos on December
Mostly, the nights before Christmas is the best time to stroll, because we can see a lot of lights in town, and even in different parks in every municipality, they also have live band which was initiated by some local officials as a form of treat to its constituents.
Christmas songs by Jose Marie Chan
The undying Christmas songs of this man was never been out of the blue ever since I was born on this planet, hehe. His songs are very usable, and easy to remember as well, even if it takes a few months that it doesn't played on radio, but still when the September starts, it also starts to play.
More than material things, we are glad in this season, because we can feel relieved with the stressful days and years that pass. This is the time where our feelings, our mind where in the right tone, because we can gather with our families, relatives and special someone in our life.
Our heart always long for happiness and the feeling that is quite relaxing and unwinding every heavy loads that we carried each day. Christmas for me is happiness because it's the celebration of our Lord, and also it's a message that life continues, and we did it for the whole year of fighting and being resilient despite of all the challenges that were facing each moment.
And lastly, the most awaited part for someone whose working the called "Christmas bonus", hehe I don't have it because I didn't have worked right now, but I'm happy for everyone who may have it.
It's too early to talk about this things right? But, let me tell you, that it makes me happy to think that Christmas is coming to town, my kids will be happy as well, because they can receive gifts and other presents. Even if we receive presents on other occasions but this season is quite different from the other.
I hope to see more colorful lights and decorations this year and of course, I'm happy to celebrate with this platform again, with everybody else who's writing here.
Thank you all for patiently reading my blog, I heartily appreciate your time.
