I can remember my days in England, television at Christmas and see how others have celebrated throughout the world. At one point, I thought earlier for people in Australia, appeared in the show “the daily life of French” Christmas: “It’s not like Christmas, hot weather and go to the beach.”
Why I thought I know he likes not really. I did not like the cold, as soon as I passed the age of 30 Or was it 35? Who cares, I hate the cold. This is one of many reasons, I live in what many call paradise: Palawan in southwestern Philippines.
As a predominantly Christian country, Christmas is a great opportunity, the Philippines. It is still a religious event, which is also, of course. Only a tiny percentage of people can afford it, gifts, it focuses on family leave, time, and many go to church. Very few families have something special for Christmas dinner, they simply no money. You have chosen for him, however, that Filipinos know without a doubt, as they enjoy themselves.
Despite the lack of money in most families, Christmas begins earlier in stores, such August. One thing, they go on a great path, the lights of Christmas. Sometimes, even the poorest homes are decorated with lights Fee, some have shown quite spectacular. November From the beginning of last year, when I travelled back to the jungle cutting 90 kilometres south, it was good to see the magic of Christmas lighting, as we are around the city.
My first Christmas in the country was unforgettable. I was invited to a friend’s house Saint evening, very poor, but very nice neighborhood with mostly very small wooden houses next to each other, to say the least intimate. Outside in the garden (a small courtyard), there were everywhere lights of the party, the whole last evening and night. I remember some rest because she received all that is organized around me, as if by magic, and everything was special. A few months ago, I had a residence in England and had only experienced Christmas in England. Well, I sat outside on a warm evening saint, the sound of tropical insects a prelude to modern music, disco, it was at a later stage. I loved it.
As in most cases, the Philippines, there were many children. The neighbours came and went man fired a party to another, and there was a current permanent human beings and especially children. Children’s games were followed by adults later versions of games for children, most of whom come from Western influence, but more and more Filipinos their own cachet outside of the habits they adopt. Alcohol is not part of the event, but adults was surprised when I proposed the sale of beer and rum
