Lantern

I looked at my surroundings I saw a lot of lantern. It has a small and big size. Lantern symbolize the Christmas season. It hangs on the window of everyone’s house. Some were made by Japanese paper. Some were simple and some are fabulous. Some have Christmas lights and others don’t have.

Some house doesn’t have lantern and other Christmas decoration because they have different religion and beliefs. Some save money for daily expenditures instead of buying lantern. Today more Filipino is practical. They recycled materials to come up wit a beautiful Christmas décor, Beautiful as that lantern that is expensive. Some Filipino reuse and add some twist to the old lantern. They use creativity.

Carols, some children sing Christmas songs in exchange of “aguilnaldo” or money. Adults also do caroling sometimes with the use of guitar and drum. They impart the message of Christmas songs.


Lantern and Carol is a sign of Christmas and Filipino culture.
