Merry Christmas

 today is Noche Buena, where everyone goes to late evening mass with lots of hymns etc and then go home to eat a huge supper. 

in the Philippines, a family feast is a way to celebrate, and since God and Jesus and Mary are part of the family and since Jesus first miracle was at a wedding feast, this is not seen as secular but as embracing everyone.

but the plaza and decorations there have been open for a month,

 with concerts etc on weekends. 

Since my granddaughter is here from her job in Thailand, it is a big celebrtino for us.
