Christmas is Over, But I Hope It's Not for UPLB!

Christmas season is almost over!

Do you still remember the time, back when you were a kid (if you’re still a kid remember the first time, okay?! HAHA), where you will gather around the Christmas tree and put red shiny balls, lights and a big star or sometimes an angel on top of the tree? Haaaay I can only sigh, I really miss being a kid because as a child Christmas means a lot to me (like food, gifts, aguinaldos, family bonding etc.) and seeing our house light up (not by fire okay? HAHA) brings bliss to my feel.

Entering highschool, I didn’t help much when it comes to decorating our house because I’m not enjoying it as much as I did when I was still a kid. I was like me decorating? UNCOOL. Now I’m in college, they didn’t bother asking my help. You think its okay with me? Well at first it is but when I woke up this morning I was shocked because our house became the old same ordinary house I used to know, not the house with a Christmas feel to it. Usually they take off the decors around January 16 or when the celebration of the Three Kings ended but I guess traditions change.

Speaking of decorations, I wonder if they packed-up the big white Christmas tree, the nativity scene and the Santa Claus in UPLB? HMMMMMM I wish they didn’t because it’s the only way for me to feel like a child again in the middle of a great, cold and blissful Christmas season.

I remember the day when I went out for dinner with my friends in UPLB, it was a Thursday.

They’re so hype with the Christmas decors in CPark and all of them want to take pictures! Okay, honestly at first I didn’t think the decors in UPLB was that awesome not until I observed it really close and realize, uhh OKAY!

The tree is very creative, so much for a white Christmas tree! Maybe they’re going for that or maybe they don’t want to go back to our Filipino roots like last year’s tree which is made up of walis tingting (so clever!).

Santa Claus is coming to town! No he’s already in town! He’s in LB! Can you believe that? The only thing is I think he’s stuck LOL! Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and of course Rudolph are soo COOL! It will take a lot of effort to make Santa looks like his taking-off with his rein deers and I applaud that to whoever made that.

And for me, the most important part of Christmas the nativity scene. Who could go wrong with a Belen right? Maybe this one! JUST KIDDING of course, but never in my life have I seen a Belen with a second floor plus with no stairs or whatsoever! Anyway, the wood sculptures are of world-class quality. Kudos!




Over-all I think I can say that UPLB’s take on Christmas is very impressive (love your own! HAHA)! College is pretty hard and with these festive decors around the campus it somehow serves as a stress-reliever and a reminder that let’s be happy and positive because it’s Christmas season! And actually UPLB now makes me feel like a child in a middle of a wondrous home because of its decors. Corny? I thought so too, but hey it’s what I feel and I should stay true to what I feel. LOL! Nonetheless, I’m hoping that next Christmas our tradition as a family would be alive and the decors in UPLB would be better as ever! ;)
