I sometimes feel deflated that my kids won't be able to know the traditions Pre and I grew up with. I may be sentimental because Christmas is near. But, deep in my heart, I am questioningour decision to bring up kids far from the motherland.
Some thoughts I have. Though there's TFC, my kids still don't know what parol is (However, Pre is volunteering to make one). Dawter T is a picky eater, what if bibingka and puto bumbong suits her tastebuds? And although Bebi A sleeps early, what if Simbang gabi is something she would like to do?
It's a different country, alright. At this time of the year in Pinas, you'll constantly hear Christmas songs on the radio. Most houses have put up blinking lights (dito ang mga meron ay yung mga nagcelebrate ng Deepavali hehehe). Hayyy kakamiss.
Wish I'm home no matter how sad my past (post Mommy Julit/Daddy Roging) Pinas Christmases were.
