Introducing the "Parol" in the Philippines

When I was young, every pupil or student needs to have a 'parol' as their school project. I must admit that I am not good at it. I need to beg someone to do this for me. There is one time that I was forced to do it. For the reason that the teacher requires us to create it in the classroom. Eventually, it was a good feeling to have a star-shaped Christmas lantern for the first time. These local lanterns will be the decorations in our classroom and bring home before the Chrismas vacation.

@jobelbojel In my city, it wasn't that popular. I feel the fascination when being in the province. Because I can see 'parols' hanging in front of their houses.

@m_audrey6788 Same here. My classmates during my primary and secondary school are my brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, we don't see each other anymore.

I learned to make one during school time; yes, I always made sure we hang a parol (lantern) in front of our home!
