Not much Christmas spirit nowadays?

[boybi]

I have noticed na halos wala ng Christmas decors sa mga bahay, wala na rin carollers masyado this Christmas season. Ganyan na ba kagipit mga tao ngayon at ayaw ng gumastos para maging festive naman ang Christmas time?

'tis difficult to get into any spirit but gloom, if the horizon is dark and one's feet are wet...
at least, hindi nahihirapan ang aircon...

It's still the same. Malls and restaurants are packed even on a weekday.

I liked Chrstmas better when I was a child because it meant gifts and money Now Christmas for me it stressful because I have to find the perfect gift for friends and family. Ubos din pera ko pag Christmas

verily, christmas is for children.
for the adults, they have to make it work for the children.

Most restaurants are packed even if it's not Christmas season.

sa mga stoplights, marami nagca-carolling.

Pero sa mga bahay, parang bawas na. Dati, may mga grupo pa na kuntodo uniporme pa at may mga dalang instrumento pa. Ang nauuso ngayon, yung nagsasayaw sa tapat ng bahay, may mga kasamang bakla.

what i do notice, is that there does not seem to be much of a preparation for these presentations..
in our time, we had SATB voices.. live music and not recordings..

Restaurants are much worse on December. I made reservations one week in advance and I still did not get a good table, in some I was not even able to get a table :twak:

I do love the Christmas stop lights at BGC

Yeah, how come nobody does caroling anymore. When I was a child my parents would really prepare whenever we had carolers (adult) at home. We prepared dinner and my Lolo and Lola would come over too.

Before pagandahan nang Xmas decoration nang mga bahay sa loob nang village namin pero ngayon basta may pa-ilaw lang or kunting ilaw ok na.

[screws]

We all are just getting older and no longer feel the magic of christmas.

Sadly bawas na talaga yung mga bahay na marami decorations. Meron pa dati may mga mini-belen complete with lights. Ngayon bibihira na nga. Even caroling kunti na lang din. Kunti na kasi nagbibigay even before so mga bata hindi na din nagsipag.

e paano naman pag nagbigay ka sa isa e di ka na papatulugin ng mga yan, sunod sunod na at babalikan ka every night. di gaya nuon mga carollers minsan lang sila iikot sa isang lugar. kaya ngayon e wala na nagbibigay at perwisyo talaga kahit anong pasensya meron ka.

"charity fatigue".. pagod nang mamigay..

Lagi kasi merong bagyo sa december kaya tinamad na mga tao maglagay decorations.. yung mga nagkakacaroling naman ay after 2 songs lang ay humihingi na kaagad ng pamasko kahit wala pa silang 1 minute na kumanta.
