This year has surely had its fair share of ups and downs and it surely was a challenging time for all of us. Because of the pandemic, our day-to-day activities have been drastically affected and we are now living in what we call the “new normal”. Face-to-face interactions have been limited which means gatherings of any kind, be it formal in an office or get-togethers with families and friends, have also been restricted. Most have been forced to stay at home for safety reasons. And some are now working from home as a result. With the coming Christmas holiday and this “new normal”, the way we celebrate will surely be different from what we are used to. But this does not mean that we should lose our Christmas spirit!
Though we may have a different kind of Christmas this year as same as the other celebrations like New Year and Chinese New Year, the same level of enthusiasm and happiness will certainly remain the same in us Filipinos. We try to see the silver lining in challenges that we face and try to create joyful memories even in difficult situations. And this will not be different this Christmas. We may not have the usual Christmas parties and reunions but we can still celebrate and feel the spirit of Christmas at the comfort of our homes.

5. Donate to a Local Charity
Christmas is a time for giving. Spread the cheer of the Christmas season by donating old toys or clothes to local charities. Gather old toys that are just lying around or are gathering dust on the shelves and donate them to orphanages to bring joy to other kids. Pick out clothes that you no longer use or even old blankets to send to the shelters or charities that help the victims of the recent typhoons. This holiday season, we can also help others feel the joy of Christmas even with these small things.
The year has not been like any other, but that does not mean we have little to be grateful for. Sometimes, to be with our family in our beautiful home where we are safe and sound is the best gift we can give and receive this yuletide season.
With Christmas coming in just a few days, the joy this season brings is felt and seen almost everywhere now.
