Christmas Eve

Spending Christmas with family.

Christmas Rainy Season

Its Christmas month and climate is very unpredictable nowadays.  Today it's raining tomorrow it scorching hot from the sun.  I've read from an article on the internet that NASA located some dangerous discovery at the north pole where it could affect the climate around the world.  Ice at the north pole being affected by the Sun rays that cause solar reaction and could melt the ice in the Antartic.  With this thing happening in our climate has become more unpredictable compare before that it could trace.  The storm has become more stronger causing floods around the world.  In times like this it is best to be ready than nothing.  Making sure all drainage and water pipe is running and free from clogs.   Like here in the Philippines the number one reason of flood is the garbage clogging in the drainage.

Anywhere I go, Christmas season is all over the place. My friends, family and relatives are all busy preparing for parties and even family gatherings for Christmas. It is a tradition of the Filipinos to gather during Christmas or even new year's eve. This is the only time when families are complete during the gathering. I have taken some pictures.

Christmas Season

Christmas season is fast approaching and people are busy buying Christmas decorations and presents for their love ones. In our house, I decided to buy early to avoid rush and I wanted to feel the Christmas season as early as this moment. I have taken some of the pictures of my decors.

Simbang Gabi or Advent Novena of Masses

One of the most popular religious traditions here in our country during Christmas season is the Simbang Gabi or Advent Novena of Masses. This tradition is not just an ordinary to all Catholic/Christians devotee but a tradition that strengthens the relationship among family members where commitment and faith is intensified. Most devotees are aiming to complete the 9 days to fulfill their vows for Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. The mass starts early morning hours, typically at about 4:00am when the roosters crow to announce the coming of a new day.

The pre-dawn mass during the old times is announced by the ringing of the church bells. It was also a belief that parish priests would go far knocking on doors to wake and gather the faithful devotees to attend the Simbang Gabi. Fishermen and Farmers wake up early to hear the Gospel before going to their work and ask for the grace of good harvest.

Christmas Season

Have you been to shopping malls nowadays? Have you observe how people spent money for shopping these days?
Holiday season is fast approaching; people are busy shopping to buy presents for their love ones. Most of the shopping malls are giving big discounts, freebies, entertainments, fireworks displays to attract more people this season.

Today we went to mall to buy gifts for our godchildren. We wondered why there were many people, cars and barricades have been up outside the mall to maintain the traffic flows of the cars. Wow! It’s the launching day of the mall’s “Big Sale Discounts”. A huge crowd of people is expected inside not just to avail the discounts but to watch a mini-concert performed by some local bands and celebrities as well. The mall had organized such event to entertain their customers while some were busy shopping. A crowd control has also been set up upon entering the entrance way of the mall to avoid inconvenience to the customers.

We never seem exhausted looking for what we need today. The mall’s organizers were successfully done their part to control all the people inside. The concerts’ crowd didn’t distract the shoppers with the help of stanchions and velvet ropes.
