Do you Celebrate Christmas?  |
|
Philippines is known to be one of the Christian Countries in Asia. And as a Christian country, we really celebrate Christmas. We put importance on Christmas season. We do not have work during the holidays, and we have what we call "9 mornings" in preparation for the Christmas day. Children have "caroling" and they have Christmas parties. We have "noche buena" where we gather around and share food during Christmas eve. and many more.... it's really a family oriented Christmas celebration.
How do you celebrate Christmas? Do you really celebrate it?

2. makatas (587) | 3 years ago | Yeah, here in Greece we also celebrate Christmas.Its a family holiday, we gather with friends at houses, whole families and have dinner and exchange gifts, maybe also dance.The house is always decorated with lights and Christmas tree and such.If people decide to go out instead of spending time in the house, they would enjoy themselves till the other day's morning listening to singers perform live.

4. beauty_ph (850) | 3 years ago | I look forward to celebrating Christmas each year. I love it spent with families and friends. This is the season of getting together.
The most important part for me is offering my self to complete the 9 masses, may it be at dawn or evening in the so called "simbang gabi" or "misa de gallo". I makes me feel so good without an absent for 9 days. I feel worthy of celebrating Christmas in this way.

caroliewrites (133) | 2 years ago | Hi again Errielle, Sorry it took me so long to respond. To answer your ques. I am from Las Vegas, Nevada, in the United States. We celebrate Christmas pretty much the same way as you do it sounds like. We have a tree and caroling and lots of fudge and divinity and presents. But mostly we celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. We attend church and give thanks for our many blessings. Again, Merry Christmas to you and to your family.

10. psyche49f (2200) | 3 years ago | Yup, we do celebrate Christmas the way you do....of course each home may have different ways of celebrating it, but more or less, the spirit and essence is there...But the most important thing is that we don't lose sight of the reason why we celebrate it...all others are just trimmings...
| |
| |
|
|
errielle (176) | 3 years ago | yes. we should not forget that... it should be our first priority.=) We have to prepare ourselves for the coming of Jesus in our hearts.
