I have just finished video coverage, a wedding of my Profs (congrats) and Christmas cantata of my daughter.
Yes you read it right Christmas cantata.
written last time in my 13 December article about the longest Christmas celebration there is.

I my self are tired of all the Christmas parties, this coming 20 December another Christmas party will be held here in my house, for my colleague.
Am not as sociable as like anybody, am a very private person and yet I attended two Christmas parties already.
Imagine what is like to be sociable here in the Philippines. I tell you, it will be on the Guinness World Records for the most attendance on parties.

The Christmas season also open up businesses. Just like in the states most business are booming on Christmas time.

The Christmas gold rush, you must be on the van wagon to taste its fruit.


Speaking of fruit, do you know that the Philippines practice New Year's resolutions?
Yes the topic does not jump, New Year's resolutions are plan during Christmas, and one of the centers for the New Year's Eve is the fruits (round ones) of Christmas Eve. It's a kind of tradition, put round fruits on the table for good luck.

Notice here, good luck round fruits. Sounds familiar?
It's a Chinese practice, mostly like a feng sui.

Christmas celebrates on the ber months and ends by 6 January , but what if you're a Chinese - Filipino you'll be celebrating Christmas, New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year.

Lots of food I tell you.

Think about it:
Whether you like it or not, you'll be celebrating Christmas with friends and or neighbors.
Is Christmas good or bad?
Good in a sense because you'll be with your love ones and or friends to celebrate.
But if you don't have friends, better to spend Christmas with your enemy. :)

On the lighter side:
What does catholic and Buddhist has in common during Christmas?
They both hide from there grand children during Christmas. :)
