A Countdown until Christmas Day


36 more days before Christmas! Christmas, the most awaited time of the year. Time of sharing and loving. Christmas, the day Jesus Christ were born. This is the time people get together and giving each other gifts. A great time to bond with each other.

We traditionally count the days until Christmas. We find time to prepare, buy gifts and decorations, make lists of people whom we will give gifts. "Simbang Gabi" in the Philippines is a traditional doing during Christmas Season. We attend midnight masses in 9 days before Christmas day. "Noche Buena" is a tradition in the Philippines werein the family will have a feast until midnight to wait for the Christmas Day. When Christmas is getting closer people go to the malls and start buying gifts. Houses are field with colorful Christmas lights twinkling and the"Parols". Christmas is really a special season for Filipinos.

But it's not all about the gifts and decorations, it's about giving love to one another. Material things can't replace the love that we can give to a person. It's not necessary if you give an expensive gift even a small gift can do, if it's from your heart it can be the most precious gift a person can receive. So, this Christmas let's love one another and ENJOY.
