    • Wow! My grandmother from the Philippines made some big star laterns like these. Now that I see your album, I understand what my grandmother was doing. Thanks for sharing! - ray in Sacramento, California

    • 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
