Christmas Spirit

The first day my son Abby heard a christmas song on videoke channel, he never stopped asking me to put our christmas tree on display. I had no plans of putting on any christmas decors at home this year but since Abby was very insistent, I promised to assemble it when I had time.
Kids have their own way (a strong determination) of getting what they want. I have seen it again on Abby when for weeks he never stopped reminding me that I promised him about the xmas tree. One evening, I agreed to finally get the tree and its decors from the cabiet on the condition that he had to put all the decors by himself. His daddy assembled the upper part of the tree and Abby put on the rest. I was so amazed that at the age of three, he managed to hang all the decors with a little help from us. (Maybe he’ll become a designer or an artist someday-hehehe). At least, we now have one thing around the house that reminds us that Christmas is indeed coming to town! Thanks to Abby.
bading. pag maliliit ang anak, walang “i dont intend to - i dont intend to- put up the tree…”
just not possible….
i’ve been arguing about the phoniness of flastik fine trees abt not being endemic to the phils anyways so why put it up… talo ang lola mo. tayo na ang tree.
nice to put in a special day and set aside for each yr to put up the tree. less hassle abt kulitan, and kids need us to make traditions for them. either continue something your parents did for you, or make 1 up.
samin sakto. bday ng lolo nila ay nov28, and the old man loved christmas. and so we have a lolos bday festival each yr… topped by the setting up and lighting up the tree. its our yr 3 and somehow medjo nagiistick na sa isip nila tradition to put up the tree on lolos bday.
hitting 2 birds w one stone. we honor our dearly departed, and we get to make our own tradition
ps. akyat kami sa thursday. wish u and ur family were thur
