Christmas Countdown 2011 - Find out how many days until Christmas 2011

Christmas Countdown 2011 - Find out how many days until Christmas 2011

I saw this website while looking up how many days it is from now before Christmas. As Chirstmas celebration starts in the Philippines when the 'BER' months comes in, it has been a tradition to count down the days from Sept. 1.

I miss celebrating Christmas in the Philippines. Seeing the decorations like the 'parols' (lanterns)in the malls, listening to children singing Yuletide carols ('Namamasko po') where we usually say 'Patatawarin, wala pang Pasko eh!', hearing some Christmas carols aired in the radio, and of course, a more congested traffic situation in the streets of Manila esp. near malls. Oh of course, the puto bumbong and bibingka everyone has to eat right after Misa de Gallo.

Another thing why I do count down is, once BER months are here, it is the start of a monthly birthday celebration in my family: Mama - Sept 4, Me - Oct 19, Con - Nov 5 and Papa - Dec 17.

Hay, I miss you all! Maligayang pasko sa inyong lahat!
