Hi Antot thanks for sharing this spectacular x'mas photos. You make me really homesick and seeking back home on this coming Dec 16-Giant christmas lanterns festival in Pampanga.Its been a long years I havent seen Chritsmas in my hometown in Sta.Ana Pampanga. Though the poverty still in Philippines but makes me really proud,there's nothing like this everywhere else in the world. And christmas and new years celebration in Philippines its very different. Mery Christmas to you and have a very prosperous New Years Day. Anlin/Arlene

For me, it turns out to be very nice to contemplate the Christmas decorations of the Philippines. I was not imagining so many lights and colors in a tropical climate. To see to believe. Thank you Mary Ann. It is a very nice album. Best wishes and Christmas for you and yours. Take a care, please. Jesus

Dear Mary, I congratulate you for this beautiful album full with color and beauty. The traditions are different depending on the place or of the country where we are. In Christmas everybody gets dressed of lights and colors. In that we look like each other almost all. My more beautiful dream would be that all the human of our earth were mated through the culture, the friendship and the cooperation. I love an universal world, where to be able to share the best thing of each one of us. This is a very beautiful album. Thank You Mary. My best wishes for you and yours. Jesus

Hello Mary Ann, Merry Christmas to you, my sweet friend! I can't tell you how much I love this album. These beautiful decorations are one of my favorite memories of P.I. and my many years there. Oh how I miss them at Christmas time here. DO you know that I actually brought mine back to the US with me when I returned here! Hope you and all your family have a very Merry Christmas and a VERY happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. With love, Jodi
