Today is December 8 so 17 days more before Christmas
0 comments Posted by Malaybalay Blogger at 5:50 AMWas it not too long ago when November came and before we could fully realize November went and December took over. Then before we could finally accept it is December, 8 days passed and 17 days more and Christmas will be upon us.
Christmas is supposed to be a celebration all year round but December 25 is a day unto itself-a very special day when Jesus is born and love envelops us all. What are your plans this Christmas, year 2009?
Cebu City, Philippines will be a great place to spend Christmas. For us, it is because we miss Tennis Guru, Nathan. Another beautiful place is Bohol, Philippines especially because Ma'am Pinky will give 6 free tickets via Trans Asia. Thank you very much Trans Asia and Ma'am Pinky.
At the end of the day, it does not matter whether you will travel or not; celebrate lavishly or simply for as in the days of old to this day, only the most important think matters: the family stays together, treasure each other's presence. All others are just trimmings.
To you my beloved followers and friends: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
BukidnonOnLine/Mindanaoan accompanied Malaybalayan and Teacher's teacher to Davao City to begin their Christmas "spotting" shopping. Gaisano Bajada was their first stop but sad to say, not a thing was spotted enough to merit a second and last visit for a "final buy". So they proceeded to Unitop San Pedro and voila! choices were made: they bought christmas lights not more than 200 pesos and decors below 20 pesos. Definitely there would be another visit before Christmas Day for more christmas "buys".
The customers today are very choosy because of the financial crisis. It is not enough for them to see nice things as it used to be. Now, they think and re-think such that they already justify why they finally bought such things.
Many still believe that the best gift is one that comes from the heart and anything that comes with it is just "icing on the cake." This perspective is so Filipino that Teacher's teacher encourages this to be the criterion in giving a gift.
