Sermons in church are somewhat monotonous. Not that I haven’t heard from a humorous priest or a straight-to-the-point preach there’s just a new kind of sermon that I just heard last night – Christmas Eve. The priest started with the people who will be happy on Christmas.

It's Christmas time once again, Irwin and I are talking yesterday and have the magic question asked "meron pa bang pasko?", it seems like an ordinary day, what's new pa ba?

Christmas lights, lanterns (parols), and decors are up. Christmas songs rock the radio and mall stores.

My mom asked me the other night, "So, is your new favorite Christmas song I'll Be Home for Christmas?" Hee. So yes, I'm home for Christmas!
