It's always fun reminiscing about Christmas in the Philippines, especially of Christmas for children in the Philippines. There is probably no place else in the world where it's more fun to celebrate Christmas than in the Philippines. Of course, I could be biased. I'm talking about Christmas in my home after all. If you want to get at least an idea of what I'm talking about, let Mikey Bustos tell you all about it.
For us Filipinos spending Christmas away from our homes, it's a bit different of course. Especially Filipinos working in non-Christian countries. Although Christmas might be celebrated, the real spirit is just not there. To none Christians the only aspect captured is the material part, which is well, material gifts. And there is no carolling, no christmas songs repeatedly playing in the radios. No christmas trees and no blinking christmas lights in front of homes to light our ways.
To Filipinos celebrating their Christmases at home, remember your family who is not there with you. Celebrate Christmas for what it is, and not just for the material things. For those celebrating Christmas with their family complete, cherish it. Not all of us are as lucky as you are. To those who for the first time will be celebrating their Christmas after losing a family or a friend, remember your lost loved ones with all the happy memories that they have left you with.
Here is a song rendered by Gary Valenciano, Pasko na Sinta ko.
Maligayang pasko po sa ating lahat at manigong bagong taon!!!
