 ▪  from Wilfreda Danigoy Maligon: Christmas in our hearts

 ▪  from Sid Manalo: Many people, including myself, spend a lot of time and money putting out expensive decorations, and preparing for a wild Christmas party resonating with loud Christmas Carols, and greeting each other “Merry Christmas” giving very little thought to the fact that Christmas is really a celebration of the birth of Christ, who came to this world to save us. When I wake up on December 25, I will kneel down beside my bed, and bow my head to say a very heartfelt and sincere “Happy Birthday. Jesus, my beloved Redeemer.” Because of the pandemic, there will be no party with friends and relatives, no champagne bottles to open, no special food preparations, very little decorations around the house. I will not allow distractions in my meditations throughout the entire day, riveted only towards celebrating the birth of the Baby Jesus in a humble manger in Bethlehem. This will be the best Christmas celebration I will ever have in the 83 yrs that God has allowed me to live.

 ▪  from Ardy Ines Araneta Batoy to Sid Manalo: Sid Manalo beautiful reflection, my friend!
