CHRISTMAS IN THE PHILIPPINES

Just as our American boys and girls
are jumping out of bed at six o'clock
in the morning of Xmas day. the chill
dren Of the Philippines are getting
read to be tucked away in their bam-
boo beds after the day is over. They
enjoy the same joys of Christmastide
that make the world bigger and sweet
er for you and me. Their forms OF
celebration are somewhat different
from ours, continuing for "A week at
least. These people are great for
music. They come from all over and
travel from one house to another un-
til it is very monotonous, and the host
if he is an American. exceedingly per-
picked
With all the annoyance of the
travelling singers, there is beautiful
spirit of giving among the neighbors
Each gives according to his station in
life.
1t is the spirit of the gift and not
the gift that counts.

these parties which last a day and
night. The people go from house to

pend on very old traditions. ON
Christmas Eve the people go with "A
glass star to the homes OF the rich,
and sing carols ending with chorus
wishing long life TO the people of the
house, and when they have received
money go on their way rejoicing. In
some places there is custom among
the children to go into the bedrooms
before the inmates are up, and scatter
