From Pinas Dekada 80's Tara,Sariwain natin muli ang ating kabataan tuwing sasapit ang PASKO! Isa ka ba sa mga bata sa Dekada 80 na nakaranas mag KAROLING? :) Sa Pilipinas, ipinagdiriwang ng mga kabataan ang pasko sa tradisyonal na Kantang Pamasko – pumupunta sa iba’t ibang bahay at kumakanta ng kantang pasko. Remedyo na mga instrumento tulad ng mga tamborines na gawa ng mga tansan na nasa isang wire. Kasama ang tradisyonal na awit ng “Namamasko po!”, ang mga kabataan o umaawit ay nag-aantabay sa nagmamay-ari ng bahay na bigyan ng pabuya tulad ng barya. Pagkatapos na mabigyan ng barya, ang mga kabataan o mga umawit ay nagpapasalamat sabay kumanta ng... “Thank you, thank you, ang babait ninyo, thank you!” ♥ Isang halimbawa ng paskong awit ay ang “Sa may bahay ang aming bati” Sa may báhay ang áming báti: "Merry Christmas na maluwalháti!" Ang pag-íbig, pag siyàng naghári, Aràw-áraw ay mágiging Paskó lagí! Chorus: Ang sanhî po ng pagparíto, Ay híhingi po ng ágin...

I saw this on Magic 89.9's Facebook Page . I must agree, Christmas is more fun in the Philippines. The lights, the atmosphere, the endless shopping, the food, the parties and people enjoying the Christmas spirit. If you've never been to the Philippines, one of the best times to visit is Christmas. Sure, you might experience endless traffic because everybody seems to be out shopping, but that's a small inconvenience compared to what you will experience this time of year. Nobody enjoys Christmas as much as Filipinos do. Make sure you stay until New Year where you'll have people lighting fireworks and making lots of noise. Oh, and make sure you bring loose pants because you'll surely be eating lots of food for days.

Backstage before the show, Jimmy, Mariah Carey, and The Roots grabbed some instruments you'd find in an elementary school classroom and stopped by the Late Night "Music Room" to sing.

It's true though, Christmas is more fun in the Philippines. Christmas songs every wear, all the parols, lights and holiday spirit. The food, parties, Noche Buena, fireworks in New Year. Nothing compares to it. Photo courtesy of Philippine Department of Tourism NY Office .

Maligayang pasko to all my readers. I wish to thank all my regular readers and to wish you a Merry Christmas.

I love Christmas, one of my fondest memories of Christmas was when my Dad plays Christmas song the whole day and one of my favorites was always those sung by the Jackson 5. Here are some of my favorite Christmas song by Jackson 5. And of course this one. Whenever I hear this song, doesn't matter who sung it, all I hear is Michael Jackson's voice.

Sung by Stevie Wonder in 1966 Here's an acoustic version by Jack Johnson

This is simply the most amazing rendition of "O Holy Night" I've ever heard.

I could not believe Madonna sang this when I first heard it.

I really love their rendition of this Christmas classic, especially Charice! Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on, our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yuletide gay From now on, our troubles will be miles away Here we are, as in olden days Happy golden days of yore Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more Through the years, we all will be together If the fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas now Hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
