What Christmas is All About?

Christmas is not about what is under the Christmas tree but it is about the family. Growing up in Philippines where this holiday is so very important to us. As preparation we usually go to church so early morning as early as 3am for 9 days before Christmas. On Christmas Eve as family we all go to church together and enjoy our noche Buena w/ the whole family. This is the part I missed. In Philippines I felt there is more Christmas


Spirit unlike here in US it is much commercialized. Everyone is busy buying presents for everyone. They even forget what the whole celebration is all about. I admit it I am one of those people who are busy of buying presents. But I do more for my kids. I know in my heart and mind this holiday is all about the birth of our savior Jesus Christ.

I am so very proud of my girls at least if you ask them about Christmas why we celebrate this holiday? There response is not about presents but it is about Jesus birthday.

Hope everyone know about the reason for this season.
