Maligayang Pasko

Santa Claus

Extending to you my greetings in as many Philippine languages and dialects as I can find and recall.  Plus greetings from the other parts of Oceania.  May this festive season be a happy and joyous one for you and your family and loved ones.

Amidst the partying, sumptuous food and gift-giving, please don't forget the real reason for the season---the birth of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!  He is the best gift we'll ever get, the most precious possession we'll ever have, and an everlasting truth that will be with us all the days of our lives.
