Santas in a row, originally uploaded by annalyn. The thought of Christmas engulfs people with giddy anticipation, and most specially in the Philippines. We don't have a Thanksgiving holiday to speak of but we certainly make a big deal out of Christmas - an opportune time for gift-giving, family reunions and spreading cheer all around.

Second question is: how would you like to die (I ... Continue Reading...
