"Santa Claus is Coming to Town!"

"Santa Claus is coming to town...Santa Claus is coming to town..." this was the line of a song that struck my mind while I was having a cup of coffee in Starbucks at Manhattan.

This line of a song reminds me that Christmas is coming. A lot of Christmas decorations, big Christmas Trees, wonderful and colorful Christmas lights and a lot more.

Holiday Seasons is really good specially when abundant promos are in your left and right.Like the promos of car companies (TOYOTA, HONDA, MAZDA etc.), saving discounts from groceries and department stores ( Walmart, BestBuy, Circuit City, etc.)

One thing I noticed, though it is great to celebrate Christmas in New York, I still longing for the celebration I used to...a Filipino way of Celebrating Christmas...I am not celebrating Christmas because of my religious belief...but it has been part of the Filipino Tradition or Culture shall I say.

Filipinos here miss the "Puto Bungbong" (not even the best cake in town could compare), "Bibingka" ,(not even the best cookie in New York could compare)...and a lot more...( I will not mention those foods that I knOw many Filipinos are longing for because of my religious belief.)

Yes it is true that Filipinos in New York are celebrating too but as the saying goes, "there's no place like home..." So, is Santa Claus coming to Town?

P.S.

I miss all my friends, my PCSHS faculty and students' friends, AND MOST OF ALL MY FAMILY!!!
