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.

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.

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.
