Christmas

Yaaay! It is almost Christmas. People around the island are busy making loans for Christmas. Yesterday, I went to down-town. It was 6 in the evening and the Bank of the Marshall Islands was still open. The bank was fully full. There were many people inside as well as the outside, staying maybe waiting for their names to be called. In the Republic of the Marshall Islands, people celebrates Christmas as it is the day Jesus was born. They would not pass the event. Christmas is like their most important event of all events. Just last night, I heard musics from the other side our village. I wanted to know what were all the musics for so went to look. There, I saw a punch of people dancing along while the music was playing. They were studying for Christmas Day. Christmas is such an important event for the people and they just can't stand not doing something to celebrate it. That is how religious the people are.

  1. Christmas is the most beautiful time of the year for some. It's when families bond together, talk about life, and share a big meal with each other. I am so ready for this Christmas. It's been three years that I've been away from my relatives and friends in the Philippines. Aren't we all excited for Christmas?!
