Few hours ago I was with my girlfriend and her mom in Robinson's Supermarket in Imus, Cavite. As we expected, it was like the end of the world for the people rampaging the stalls inside the supermarket. I can't even move an inch without brushing shoulders with these insanely excited and , for some, panicky citizens.
Honestly, I enjoyed the sight of people going about the place trying to grab the ingredients for their carbonar, getting more Nestle Creme to complete their fruit salad or buko pandam for desert, or just buy a pear-shaped ham to make the Noche Buena special. The mere fact that these people still find a reason to make this day extra special warms my heart. I can just imagine what each of these people have been through for the past months (some could have had some rough times) and yet the spirit of Christmas can still be felt within them.
Christmas is spent in different ways by different people all over the world. Cultures influence how it is celebrated but faith makes the big difference.
So how do you celebrate Christmas? Do you even know why you're celebrating?
