[Title] => 1st misa de aginaldo was before Magellan
[Summary] => But of course Christmas is happy this year, as four out of every five poll respondents say. It was happy last year just as it was a decade ago, it will be happy next year and a century hence. Never mind that five million Filipinos have no jobs, that crime is on the rise, or that leaders do nothing but play politics. Only three out of every hundred feel misery in this season of merriment. Filipinos have this obsession with it.

[Title] => The most indigenous Filipino Christmas symbol
[Summary] => We have many old Christmas symbols. Probably the oldest is the Nativity scene, known by its Spanish name belen, or Bethlehem. This is a tradition that is believed to have originated way back in 1223 when St. Francis celebrated Christmas by depicting the Nativity scene complete with live donkey, sheep and ox. By the 17th century, the custom reached Spain, and a century later it was introduced in Mexico from where it was brought to the Philippines. Originally, the only human figures in the belen were the Holy Couple and the Holy Infant.

[Title] => Our X’mas season begins with the Simbang Gabi
[Summary] => In most countries, the Christmas season is generally from the midnight of December 24 to New Year’s Day or the Epiphany. In the Philippines, it starts with a series of novena Masses known as Simbang Gabi, the first of which was celebrated last Monday.

[Title] => Feast of the Nativity
[Summary] => Sad to say, there is no peace on earth this Christmas. But the spirit of Christmas will prevail if we all dedicate part of our Christmas celebration to helping the oppressed poor and the underprivileged. Celebrating Christmas is good, but sharing it with the have-nots is much better. If you don’t have the Christmas spirit in your heart, you certainly won’t find it under a tree.
