Christmas Day

Christmas is over and New Year is just around the Corner.  We don’t usually celebrate Christmas that much.  The usual, on the eve of December 25, we had mass.  The Christmas Eve mass in our barangay now is no longer the same 4 to 5 years before.  Officials of our Church usually prepare a small play depicting the birth of Christ or the “Panuluyan”.  Those who be Mary, Joseph and the other characters will go from selected houses and would ask if they could stay for the night.  The actors will sing out the lines instead of just saying it.  The play normally starts at 8 and their last stop is at the church.  Thus the whole presentation end around 12 to 1 am of December 25.  For almost 3 years now, the church’s officials no longer do such play and just a normal mass.  I’ve kind of miss that one since aside from the fact that you remember how Christ was born, you get entertained literally (hehehe you know what I mean) So, Last December 24, the mass started at 9 and ended arounded 10:45pm still couple of hours before December 25.
