Christmas Amid Pandemic

         Christmas is a special event for us because it the way we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Many people having fun when its christmas because there so many events that happen. Events like christmas party, christmas games and misa de gallo or simbang gabi. But christmas is never the same again when the COVID 19 pandemic started. Because of the protocols, events that were attending in christmas were cancelled like masses and christmas celebration.

 

          Simbang gabi is a famous events during the christmas period. Misa de gallo is a nine day serues mass with great solemnity. When the COVID pandemic , churches was closed. Some have only limited seats when going to church. Other was not going to simbang gabi and just watch it online. Even we can watch it online, its spirit is not the same when you are inside the church.

 


          We celebrate christmas amazingly. We have christmas party, family reunion and gift giving. But when the pandemic started, families and friends reunion was cancelled. They cancelled it to avoid contact. Christmas party in school and family was cancelled. Some of the children didn’t receive any gift. Christmas celebration became simple because of the pandemic.

 

          Even our christmas celebration is simple, we must know that believing on god is the main purpose of it. Christmas is the day we have love, light and hope.
