Philippine
Christmas is like no other. Even in the midst of financial crisis or
natural disaster Filipinos were still able to find ways how to celebrate
Christmas with cheer. The Christmas decorations need not be luxurious
too. When I was younger, my Mother made a Christmas tree by coating a
dead branch with white soap flakes that looked like icing! You will know
it's Christmas when the wind starts to blow a lot cooler, when the
vendors start displaying their lanterns on the side walks, children
start making star lantern or parol from bamboo, and in some places, the
local government puts up giant christmas trees for everyone to enjoy,
some people put up the nativity scene made of corn husk and other
indigenous products, and of course - you will know it's christmas when
you hear the sounds of christmas. . . the ageless christmas songs on the
radio like "pasko na naman", "himig pasko" among others, and the sound
of the christmas carolers. Truly, there's no Christmas like pinas
krismas.
