Yesterday , November 30 , was holiday . So , it was only the skeletal forces of Marketing & Leasing were the ones who reported to the office .
This morning , December 01 , when I passed by the company’s chapel to say my prayer before finally going up the office , I felt so happy seeing that the chapel was already adorned with the paper poinsettias , the flower for Christmas .
The celebration plaza too , was adorned with Christmas decors .
And when I entered our office , I was surprised that it too was filled already with Christmas decorations .
Wow , so it’s officially Christmas time here in our office . I commended the skeletal forces of yesterday for making a job well done .
What about in your place ?

@SIMPLYD not really our religion doesn't celebrate it. but normally we work together with those who celebrate it and help them.(sometimes we guide them in decors etc. )
they also celebrate our religious festivals with us. this is all about friendship and religion is not an obstacle for that bond.

No , it's for everyone who wants to attend the mass there . A mass is offered on First Fridays of the month , like today , every 23rd of the month in honor of Padre Pio , the statue in front and on Sundays at 5:30 in the afternoon and on church holidays .
We will also be having the "simbang gabi " . I think it will start on the 15th .

@AbbyGreenhill September 1 actually . Radios are already playing Christmas songs and some people have put up their Christmas parties . 
It is said that the Philippines has the longest celebration for Christmas because the people as early as September 01 has already decorated.
But not us at home though .

And i suppose it's before December 1 ? I used to put Christmas tree for the sake of our daughter who was a kid then .
But now , it's just the gold triangle like Christmas tree and lights for the house . My gay brother-in-law is the one putting them up and down each year .
