As we will be entering the so-called "Ber Months", we'll feel the Christmas spirit everywhere already. We will see Christmas lights on houses, Christmas decors hanging, Christmas tree assembled at a corner of the house and Christmas songs playing everywhere... Ohhh.. how I hope Christmas will be celebrated always... I really love Christmas...
The song "Twelve days of Christmas" is more than just a repetitious melody with pretty phrases and a list of strange gifts, or a delightful nonsense rhyme set to music. It had a quite serious purpose when it was written as the early Christians way of evading laws that prohibited Christ worship.

The Christmas holiday celebrated today is indicative of Christianity's willingness to absorb the world's customs and traditions, and forget its simple roots in the historical reality of Jesus Christ. Christmas should be nothing more than a simple yet wonderful reminder of Christ's humble beginning as a human child in this world. His birth merely set the stage for the power, glory and salvation that would be revealed in His Life, Death and Resurrection! Whether it's December 25, or sometime in late September, or any other day of the year, Christmas should be used to reflect on Jesus Christ and His message of hope.
"Christmas, people, is not just a date. It is a state of mind." ^_^
You read it right! The title maybe seems ironic to hear 'coz come to think of it, how on Earth would Horror Booth which was for Halloween and Christmas Party for Christmas be combine? If the two events were the exact opposite of each other. Well, to end all your confusion why I came up with such as title, your free to read this blog article of mine... Enjoy...
Once again you'll be able to experience the much awaited Horror Booth at Mandaue City Sports and Cultural Complex that composes of 42 Mandaue Pride members that will act as the creepy creatures inside the booth. Horror Booth will be opened on November 2 until November 3. It will start 6:00PM and end at 12:00MN. Entrance fee is Php20.00 per person and take note, Horror Booth is open for all who wanted to be there.
And oh, here is the explanation why oh why I got the title. The very reason why they build Horror Booth is first made people enjoy and at the same time be scared what's inside the booth; second is to give happiness on street children around the city. Horror Booth's earnings will be spent for the Christmas Party of 650 chosen street children. I was really proud to be a Mandauehanon for the very reason that we Mandauehanons are very much kind on everybody...
