My first Christmas outside the country.
Its my first time to celebrate christmas outside my beloved country, I will surely miss many things that christmas in the philippines has to offer. The smell of Puto-Bumbong, Bibingka (Phils Delicacies), the simbang gabi, The busy streets of divisoria, quiapo, cubao and the jampacked malls. Plus the non-stop partying and food tasting from every corner of the land.
But, what will I surely miss is the gathering of family, relatives and close friends and exchanging of gifts and greetings of Merry Christmas.
Although I will not be that homesick, because my lovely wife and kids are here with me to celebrate Middle eastern style.
We all know that Middle East do not merely celebrate that occasion for christians, We are lucky to have a kind and considerate country like QATAR. They even allowed the Dec 25 and Jan 1 as a non-working holiday for all. God Bless Qatar for that and his Highness the Emir.
We are still looking forward to this festive season. Its cold here and atleast we are experiencing the Winter.
So to my kababayans Maligayang PAsko at Manigong Bagong taon!
