Holiday
Preserved Traditions
In over a century-old carol "The 12 Days of Christmas" describes a shorter period of time for festivities. December and, in certain places, a significant portion of November are regularly observed as Christmas celebration months too. But in the Philippines, Christmas Season starts with the "BER" months and that commences in September giving the festivity a new meaning. Can you picture an entire country freely giving warmth and affection for this considerable time? However, the celebrations don't stop in December. Beginning on September 1 and lasting through the first week of January or in the Feast Day of Epiphany. it is indeed a Christmas fever. Simbang Gabi, a nine-day period of early-morning mass attendance from December 16 to December 24, is a habit that many of the believers follow. It is assumed that Spanish missionaries originated the custom in the 17th century. Filipinos are a joyful people who love to prepare food for celebrations, gather around tables for singing and dancing, and generally have a good time.

Vacation in Mesopotamia
We don’t get glittering prizes down our way. We get grisly ones awarded by nightmarish quiz shows. However, instead of open heart surgery without anaesthetic on the meat counter of our local supermarket, I get an evening with my brother, his wife and their bratty kid. The former, if successful, need be done only once. The latter, unfortunately, comes every December 28.
