The Funahashi Times No.32　フィリピンのクリスマス＆元日

Hello there!

Time flies fast! It’s now December. In Philippines, it’s the most special month. Everybody gets ready for Christmas and New Year’s Day. Everyone decorates their houses with colorful balls, lights, lanterns, and so on. Streets and parks are also full of Christmas decorations. There’s even a giant Christmas tree in every city. Christmas songs can also be heard everywhere. The streets become really busy at night too. At night, children go from house to house to sing Christmas songs and ask for coins. Everyone goes out to buy gifts and have fun. Some towns even have their own parades. You should come to Philippines in December. I think you’ll be surprised.
