Filipino is very busy during this day, with all the cooking, preparation and decorating. They say it's the most wonderful time of the year and I surely agree.
I remember when I was a kid I used to gather stuff that could help me create an instrument to use for caroling. I miss the good old days, now I realize the difference of celebrating Christmas in the province and in the city. Christmas in the province is the best for me (no offense) I always witness the harmonious feeling and people are very accomodating and smiling. Caroling is for all, you can definitely see various group of carolers where as in the city it's different. But no matter how different Christmas is being celebrated as long as the essence of giving and love is present.
Maligayang Pasko sa inyong lahat.
