The Misa de Gallo, bibingka and puto bumbong

Kris Kringle and unwanted angel figurines

Carolers singing “… teng-kyu teng-kyu ambabaet ninyo! teng-kyu!”

Videoke with old friends and all sorts of parties happening left and right.

Divisoria shopping, congested malls and havaianas’ queue reaching the next floor.

Kids you don’t know showing-up in your doorstep.

Kids you know showing-up in your doorstep, claiming your 13th month pay.

Then you will find yourself the next morning after christmas, staring in to nothingness, with an empty pocket, plotting a kidnapping modus operandi. Afterall kids are then richer than the tax payers.

Nothing beats Christmas in the Philippines!

Maligayang Pasko!
