Ber Months Approaching

This is now the eve of the longest holiday in our country--- Christmas.

People will become busy in checking their lists. Many will go to malls and tiangge to buy colorful ornaments that will really give #ChristmasFeels. We will be under the LSS of Jose Mari Chan's heartwarming Christmas songs. The longest hide and seek game also happens in this season as the godparents (ninong and ninang) will be invisible in the eyes of their "inaanak".

There are various events that usually take place during this period. But, the best scene that I like to see is families reunited and observe the commemoration of the birth of baby Jesus during "Simbang Gabi".

With Ber months approaching quickly, let us not forget the essence of the birth of our Savior. He came to save us and to bring peace so should we. We must celebrate the holiday not only focusing on luxurious gifts, bright lanterns, boisterous parties, and sales in the stores but also putting Jesus in the center of the celebration.

There are things to patch up in this world. To make Christmas more memorable and significant, try to be a blessing to other people. You may donate food, clothes, or any help to the needy. Organize a feeding program. Have parties in the orphanages or home for the aged. This is the perfect season to be happy with others who are hapless.

As you anticipate puto bumbong and ham, you will do your part to make the holiday purposeful.

Don't forget me in your list. I accept gifts. Cash is okay. Just kidding.
