Christmas Carol

Posted in holidays/special days, life in the Philippines | December 28th, 2008

Our Little Dynamo is fortunate to spend another Christmas here in the Philippines. One tradition which makes it more exciting is the Christmas carolling. Children (even adults) go to houses and sing Christmas carols. The house owners gladly (some reluctantly, others grouchily) give money to the carollers.

On Christmas eve, we had several carollers passing by the front gate. We let the children listen and appreciate the tradition by letting them go nearer the gate and sing and dance with the carollers. Little Dynamo was tasked to hand the money.
