The -ber Fever

The Philippines is known as a country which celebrates Christmas the longest. True to its tradition, this morning, when September one came, I have heard a few people greet each other a Merry Christmas.

I love Christmas. It's my favorite holiday. People seem to be happier and much more positive during this season. I love the lanterns, the trees, the songs, the gifts and the weather. In the midst of all these, being the only Christian country in Asia, Filipinos have always emphasized that Jesus Christ and not Santa Claus is the main figure in Christmas. And I believe this is why people seem more generous and merrier in December. They know that someone was sent to save them.

Now personally, we don't go with the trend of decorating this early. With a very small place, I can't even imagine where we would put up our old tree. But we would still decorate. Even if Adie is not staying here at home, we have a new baby coming and we want him or her to see what his or her kuya have enjoyed last year.

I am so excited!
