New Year 2013



Simple Pre- New Years Eve dinner
My niece and I had our dinner for New Year the night before. I have work the 31st of December. Last Christmas we had our Noche Buena also a day before the event. We had to choose a day where I am on day off. I do not have time to cook.  We had to buy cooked food for our dinner. My niece wanted lechon last Christmas Noche Buena.  For the New Year, she wants her favorite El Pollo Loco chicken.  For info about this chicken restaurant just search the web.

Its Christmas

Here it comes! It is December again, the most anticipated month of most Filipino children. This is the month of family gatherings, parties here, there and everywhere. In the Philippines we spend lavishly on Christmas, not only on gift giving and parties, but with our Christmas decorations. The most common decorations in our homes and offices are Christmas trees and Christmas lanterns, we call Parol.

Children anticipate Christmas presents from dads and moms, godparents, nearest kin and close friends. Underneath the Christmas tree is the best place to gather all the presents and open them at the same time on Christmas Eve, after a family dinner we call Noche Buena. 
 
Christmas lanterns line up busy streets at night. Or continuously illuminate homes until the wee hours in the morning. Forget about Earth Hour 60 in December. After all, comes March, is the time for synchronize celebration of Earth Hour. To most Filipinos December is the most expensive month.

No matter how we thought of the Holiday Season. Let us not forget the essence of this especial occasion. Think of something special why you celebrate Christmas. I do not want to touch on religious beliefs and magical Christmas. Just make this Holiday something that will become special and make you happy. If it makes you happy to give, then nobody is going to stop you. Remember it is more blessed to give than to receive. If you have no one to give your presents to, I am here.
