    Well that cheered me up.

    The one time I regret not being a 'believer'.

    I can just imagine a rousing chorus of In the Bleak Midwinter sung in a pair of shorts and flip-flops (slippers).

    My friends and I usually spend a day to have Christmas party in an orphanage or homes for the elderly and give them gifts. Their smiles and laughs are priceless.

    I also miss hearing Christmas songs being played in the radio over and over again. I can't do that here as I might just cry being so far away from my family.

    I miss the SALE all over Manila. Sale here in the UK is different, it is still expensive for my taste!

    I miss Christmas parties in the office, among friends, in our neighborhood, etc. You can never have too much of it..haha..Kris Kringle is one of a nice way having exchange gifts.

    I miss Simbang Gabi or Misa De Gallo.

    Family reunions and Noche Buena (the food!!!) are what I miss the most.

    I just checked with Mrs Lastlid. She said they all used to go carol singing, door to door, especially as kids. But she said the carols were Filipino carols.

    I've been lucky enough to enjoy some truly memorable Christmas times in the Philippines.
    Yes, I too just love the large family gathering, happy times and plenty of good food
