Philippines has been hailed as the country having the longest Christmas season in the world. The start of the “ber” month signals the commencement of the Christmas Celebration here in our country and winds up with the Epiphany on the 6th day of January every year. Now, do you still wonder why Philippines bears this title?
Seven days to go and it’s Christmas time.
But that is the irony of it.
We just have to wait for a week for Christmas. But do I really need to be happy about this?
Because to tell you honestly, the spirit of Christmas could not be heartily felt now. Instead of different shows emphasizing the Christmas season, innumerable commercials showing the bestial visages and ingenious perfidy of the reptilian politicians are dominating the Philippine TV.
It is undeniably true that nearly all the Christmas culture, customs and tradition have been forgotten.
Because of this, I couldn’t help myself but to pity every Filipino who has been hoodwinked their fellow Filipinos “serving” and who will be serving our humble abode.
Now that you have read this, are you going to neglect the message this post has implied?
Will you be joining those who diminish the genuine values and importance of Christmas?
Indeed, the Filipinos have been acclaimed to be the people who celebrate the longest Christmas season in the world.
But what is really with the distinction and fame? So what if we commemorate Yuletide for a very long time? If we, ourselves, do not know how to hold dear of this remarkable accolade, and if we are unmindful of the true meaning of this treasure in our grasp, then would you still consider this as an award that needs to be cherished forever or just a shameful act that should be forgotten as early as now?
I really pity you, Filipinos.
