Christmas

Christmas is just around the weather now here become cooled sometimes snow falls, and frozen every evening and early at the morning. Some of my friends in PI told me about Simbang gabi they attended where i longing for it. Really miss the Simbang gabi and afterwards eating bibingka,suman and puto bongbong with hot ginger tea.(salabat).
Last week we go shopping and bought some stuff for each of us and for some relatives of my husband. I do the gift wrapping and my mother in law is the one sent it through post. Buying during holidays was the hectic things about shopping, lots of people around and a long line in the cashier is sometimes tiring too. Still Christmas is the special day to all! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to ALL!

Advent Wreath

Making an Advent wreath is a practice here in Germany as i observed they buy all the materials just to create an advent wreath as a decoration inside their house. They light the first candle during the first day of advent which i did where my mother in law is the one who influenced me and she is so eager to make our very own advent wreath. As a matter of fact she provided me all the materials that i used to. Because she has lots of old things that i can make a recycled for.

As i work in the school before i observed these also, the student make a competition to make a wonderful and giant advent wreath, they make their own design and motif. They gathered different materials from native and from expensive one. As i attended the Simbang Gabi advent wreath is still in front of the altars. This could be the symbols of Spirit of Christmas that really bring the holiday with full of joys!
