Did You Start Listening Christmas Songs?

If you don't mind mate, can you tell us why the essence of Christmas lost the true meaning in your family. Why there's changes after all?

In the last twelve years Christmas lost its touch completely. Why is this exact time? Our parents divorced on the 18th of September in 1998 only four years after 16th birthday. But years before our family started to fall apart. There wasn't any sign of togetherness anymore. Christmas way just another victim of this when all of us realised that there is no real feelings behind the occasion, that in the rest of the year we do think separate and live separate without showing that we care about each other. In short, as our family was gone, so the spirit of Christmas. It should be a day for family and love. Now, where could I find these? After 12 years there is a possibility my brothers and I will be together at our mothers house for Christmas. But I feel this will be just pretending again that everything is allright.

4 days. Not years. Sorry.

Now it's a BER month again but unlike on the other year, I didn't even heard songs for Christmas.. I don't know what is the reason. Christmas season here is useless

It's really really hard if you are away from your family during Christmas season. The happenings you always did will be part of your memories while you are away from them. As what you have said I always think my family as my inspiration so that I will not missed them much. In returned of my sacrifice is the bright future we will have if I will work here. I missed the beautiful lightings in my house during Christmas season. I always stay outside the house while watching our "Beranda" which full of Christmas lights.

Thanks giving time also a happy day for most of the Christians. It's a full of happiest moment shared both in a locality, group or in the church. We don't have thanks giving also here as you know Muslims has their own celebrations. They only observe Ramaddan and Hajj.

Since I posted this I continue listening Christmas song before I sleep and sometimes my laptop continue playing it until morning. When I woke up in the morning I can hear the song which add up my sleepiness and seems I don't want to rise from my bed but because I need to come early in my office so I don't have choice. Here there's no Christmas decoration because Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country that is why you can't see any sign of Christmas everywhere. I missed my family specially when Christmas time is coming our house is full of decorations. The lightings will add the solemnity of our home plus the music.

Because I start work at around 3pm, don't have time to listen any music in my room because I always sleep at around 5-6am and my roommate already dreaming. Don't want to disturb him

Yes I constantly contacted them every now and then to relieve my longing of their companionship. But still different if you are around with them and shared the happiness they have during Christmas time. Sorry for what happened to your family lately, I pray for your bright Christmas with your family and loveone's. See you around my beloved friend.

Some people start listening Christmas song when BER month is coming. I mean some start it on September until the end of December. Although it's early but it's nice to hear songs for this special season that Christians considered the most important celebration for the whole year.

Some radio stations they everyday Christmas songs during early morning programs. When I was in the Philippines I am awake with the Christmas songs that my favorite DJ play it and it's nice to stay sleep specially when the temperature is starting to cold.

I don't have file or CD's and DVD's with Christmas songs on it. I prepare to download only on the net. I love listening Christmas songs that are solemn and romantic. I missed the Christmas celebration in the Philippines.

Thanks giving is over, maybe you start listening Christmas song now mate. What I want to listen Xmas songs because most of the songs sounds cool and the essence of coldness is there in the songs. It's only my own opinion I don't know what's the opinion of other why they love to listen suck kind of songs.

I don't know if the Christmas tree still be seen infront of Iligan City Hall same what the city government before. The city plaza also shows a very bright light every night. The place I always stay on everyday while I was still living in your place. Here in my recent place it seems everyday Christmas because of the light. Gasoline here is cheaper compared to water because they own it. Hope I can visit again Iligan next Christmas when I'll be back in the Philippines.

Since birth I didn't accompany with our neighbor doing caroling but I am amazed with the kids singing songs not properly pronounce as long as they can sing. I always give them a small amount to buy foods.

Every night when I am inside my room I always listen Christmas songs. I don't care if I always think my loveone's. The most important I always have a presence of Christmas.
