Christmas Countdown

[joebloggs]

I love Asian Christmas....saw a very nice nativity scene in Thai last year complete with manger, wise men? and the baby father christmas asleep in the hay....I am hoping for equally strange and surreal events in the Fils....just my survival mechanisms kicking in.

, first time i went to the phils, i arrived 6pm xmas eve , only to be woken up all thru the night with deafening Chinese firecrackers , and even more shocked to find the malls open on xmas day. no seasons goodwill to some workers
