Mountains of my life: Forever Soldier

Christmas, Philippine style

December the 24th! How time flies! Yesterday you were young, full of vigor, and you thought Christmas comes after so many jobs, and sacrifices. This time you can be rested from your job, and now some gifts are coming. But how Christmas has become so materialistic! There are those who say they can't have Christmas because there'll be nothing in their tables on "Noche Buena", i.e., midnight dinner on Christmas eve. For the rich in my country, they have everything, in fact, more than enough for Christmas. While the poor are extremely poor, for they have nothing to eat, the rich have much, much more.

This is Christmas, Philippine style.
