Christmas is Here Again  

Posted by allanloi in ,


It’s Christmas time again . . . a time when parties are everywhere.  For us, this season of the year is a time for celebration, joy, sharing, reunions, love and most of all the season to remember the birth of Jesus Christ.
Our Filipino culture and influences from our colonizers and western culture taught us many practices aside from those that are ours.  We  have practiced a distinct celebration which made us known anywhere in the world.  We make it a point that every year our Christmas celebration is different and meaningful.
The nine mornings of  misa de gallo ( dawn mass) , the manito-manita (exchange gift), christmas carols and parties and many more are some of the many practices that our culture brought us.
Because of all of this most of us would wish that the whole year round is Christmas.  One thing that I consider Filipino during this season is our being sentimental and mellow dramatic.   From the simple gifts that we receive to the most touching moments that our families and friends does for us, we always find ourselves in tears for different reasons.
Whatever it is. . .  this is who we are and this season would always bring surprises and joy.  A season when your wishes do come true. Merry Christmas everyone.
