My Christmas has always been merry despite all odds. Pasts Christmases will always be cherished and treasured even the Christmas when for the first time your loved ones are not there to celebrate with you forever physically. Future Christmas with a new President or not will always be hopefully merry and bright for Christmas will always be the one season to hope for the best nit just for yourself but for the whole country as well and even those not celebrating it. And Filipinos are smart and think of ways to make this season merry even in the midst of a crisis. And hoping too that this Christmas will not just be merry but for the new government and people to look forward to a bright future.

i do believe that it will going to be happy with our new government, considering that they are giving their best effort and abilities in improving our country. BUT, it will be more merrier if all individuals will not just depend on our government but instead, do something to improve their own lives. our life depends on what we do, what decisions we make, and what's our plans for future. then i guess, all christmas will be merrier. :)

Christmas is such a joyous time of the year. I will not be having one of the most fantastic ones due to my financial burdens. However I chose to be happy regardless of what is going on in the world, with my finances and life in general. Christmas is a time we celebrate Jesus so I will put aside my sad feelings of not being financially able, as before and remembering the wonderful day it is. We can chose to be unhappy, but why?? We should be like children and await it anticipations as this is what the Lord would want us to do. Have a wonderful day.
