                    [Summary] => What does Christmas mean to Filipinos? A child’s eyes glowing upon the sight of beautifully wrapped Christmas gifts under a well-lit Christmas tree; the family gathered around the festive table for noche buena; gifts being exchanged; and laughter. In a word, Christmas is having the family together.

A child’s eyes glowing upon the sight of beautifully wrapped Christmas gifts under a well-lit Christmas tree; the family all gathered around the festive table for noche buena; gifts being exchanged; laughter; togetherness, are what the holidays are all about.

As the year (and century) came to a close, let us remember that we did not just end another year. We were the witnesses to the closing (and beginning of) a new decade, of a new century, and a new millennium. The stroke of midnight on December 31, 1999, was more significant than the previous ones in the last 999 years.

For my part, I am thankful that I have helped many people this past year to be reunited with their loved ones, and to fulfill the American Dream.
