Christmas in Our Hearts

I've noticed that in the US the holidays are not as celebrated as in the Philippines. I'm not talking about the christmas trees and lights and big sales at the stores. In that respect nothing beats New York during the holidays. I've never seen a more colorful city during that holidays than New York. It really is a beautiful city during Christmas. Where the Philippines beats holiday celebrations is on the personal level. People in the Philippines really take in the holiday spirit. There is a happyness in the people during the holiday season that is not present other times. Dancing, singing, eating and just being merry is seen in every household. Maybe it's that here in New York you don't know most of your neighbors. I hope one day I can install the holiday spirit on all my neighbors and relatives so it will be a Christmas I will never forget.

Lighting Up The Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center NY

The famous Christmas tree here in NYC which we can see at Rockefeller Center NY was lit for the first time this Holiday Season last Tuesday,November 30,2010. It's quite late to post this but I want you guys to know what I've experienced. I was at home watching the live broadcast. I saw famous people sing Christmas songs and one of them was a Filipina girl. She was quite empressive and im proud of her. It was very nice seeing them perform in their costumes which is I loved most. Tons of people were there. The reason why I stayed in our house is because the weather was cold and my partner said that we could not get in because it was crowded. So there was no point of going if we were not in the VIP section. You know what i mean? Its not worth it...hahaha just kidding. Anyway so the show continued until the countdown began. So my partner and I counted down "3, 2, 1" and then boom the lights came on! The picture above is what we saw. Hopefully you guys out there can make it to NYC next year and experience the tree lighting ceremony live.
