There are a lot of things that make us merry throughout the Christmas season and these are:

Happy moods created by yuletide decorations like colorful Christmas lanterns, beautifully decorated Christmas trees, Christmas lights overflowing in malls and major city streets and more.

Christmas parties held in schools and offices, exchanging gifts, dining and playing parlor games.

The best time to show gratitude through gift-giving and sharing of blessings.

Children most especially are the happiest during this season being showered with lots of “aginaldos” (presents) from their godparents.

The traditional music (Christmas songs) played during this time of the year generates a light and happy mood. Carolers abound singing Christmas songs from house to house at the strike of 6 p.m.

The simbang gabi or midnight mass that starts on the 16th day up to the 24th day of the month.

Indulgence, as many parties are held, food festivals are everywhere.

The Christmas season is the time where most families and relatives gather together for the customary family reunions.

Lastly, this is the time of the year for a family holiday and will not be complete without the shopping spree

Christmas time is traditionally a long occasion for merry-making.  What about you, what makes you merry during the Christmas season?

Mother, Blogger

As I already mentioned in my first article, I am a full-time housewife, tending to the daily house chores. Though I have my helper with me, I personally tend to my husband and children's needs. Being in the house all day long makes me bored to the max! It's a good thing, I love to read, and when I'm done reading, I go online and check my accounts in Facebook, Twitter,and email. I started creating my own blog a year ago, but due to my hectic schedule being an ICafe Owner at the same time due to my health problems I wasn't able to pursue it. Being a mother doesn't mean you cannot be a blogger. I am not a professional writer, but I can express my opinions and ideas in my own way and style of writing. I will be writing articles, not only for the mothers' interest but for the whole family as well. May you find my articles worth reading. You may expect for a weekly update on this site.
